Fall Frolic
T Block 1/9 – Swirling Fall Leaves
Hosted by Pat Sloan At Ilovetomakequilts.com
T Let’s kick off our ‘Fall Frolic’ with the leaves! When I did a
poll of your most favorite Fall items, swirling falling leaves
was your topic pick! Block is 12.5” x 12.5”
Finished size 12”x 12”
We know it’s fall when those leaves change to glorious colors
And then fall and swirl around.
We have 2 big oak trees in the middle of our backyard, they are gorgeous and we love
Seeing them change color. A favorite thing of mine is images of leaves, either as quilt blocks
or photos, I love leaves!
