The theme for the November Happy Blocks is-

AUTUMN in the COUNTRY!

->The outer part of the blocks should be a small or medium country print in warm autumn colors ...think acorns, pinecones, fall leaves, and fall flowers in pine, olive, brown, rust, golds, pumpkin, plum, cranberry, warm golden beige ...well you get the idea.

->The center square should be a coordinating plaid or check.

All fabrics should be 100% cotton quilt fabric.

I am posting a picture of 3 of the blocks I cut out to give you an idea of the colors. This picture is of partial blocks, not sewn yet. This should make for a very warm, cozy looking quilt! ENJOY!




Here's a few links to get you going:

If you click Moda -Three sisters (on the home page of BC) and go to Trail Adventures, Mementos, and even the clearance fabrics, you'll find some nice autumn prints and plaids.

The Fat Quarter Shop (also on the home page of BC) has autumn prints and plaids (Autumn Journey, Maple Leaf Hill, etc)
Thimbleberries LODGE and LAKESIDE has some nice fabrics also... Yes, I know, I LOVE TO SHOP!

Nola is the hostess of this swap and will be here shortly to add to this post. Have FUN!!
