Welcome to the Fall Gatherings Sew Along that I'm hosting for my friends at Riley Blake Designs!
This SAL is running from October 4th – November 7th, so this is week #3! Here are the previous blog posts:
- SAL announcement (September 24th)
- Week #1 (Oct 4th)
- Week #2 (Oct 11th)
To recap, I'm featuring the quilt pattern by Sandy Gervais finishes at 74" X 74" with adorable fall-themed blocks! You can get the pattern HERE from the Fat Quarter Shop.
I'm sewing a solid version of this pattern with Riley Blake's Confetti Cottons Solids!

These are the solids I'm using. I love how bright and vibrant they are, but I feel like the quilt still has a fall vibe to it! You can grab these solids here at the Fat Quarter Shop.

For Block 3, I used Teddy Bear, Butterscotch, Riley Orange, and Peacock. The Peacock's turquoise color is very striking here!

Her whole quilt comes together beautifully!
