![]() ![]() One thing that is different about this quilt than other patterns of mine is that “anything goes”. If you made this quilt with me in the original pattern, I’m sure you can spot some differences and I hope you like the changes I’ve made. The block design, instructions and post are my own original work with my own opinions.Anthologie is a sampler quilt with bohemian style and meant to combine lots of different techniques including traditional piecing, machine and hand applique,and lots of Dresden plates. ***This post was sponsored by and there are affiliate links.

Sept 12 – Fall Geese ![]() I think quilts should be the “new” wreaths, don’t you think? We should get on that movement! It is displayed on a mantle with a wreath hanger and helps to bring the random decor I had around the house together.Īnd if mantle or table-scapes aren’t your thing, the pant hanger make it easy to display a mini quilt on your front door. Here is the mini displayed with some upcycled “ribbon” cut from a burlap coffee bag and leftover lace from my sister’s wedding. It works well with this fall palette and displays my Woodland Mushroom mini perfectly! It will be easy to change out mini’s over time and through the different seasons. The hanger makeover really makes the piece more modern with an industrial rustic feel. A few layers of clear coat topped it off to protect the fabric against any paint which may rub off. A watered down brown acrylic craft paint gave me the “stain” and I happened to have this gorgeous hammered bronze spray paint leftover from another forgotten DIY project. With a little fine sandpaper, I took the shine off the entire hanger and used materials I had around the house to refinish it. Both were blonde wood with the same nickel finish on the wire. I found these two pant hangers for a total of $0.60 at my local thrift shops. ![]() Lizzy House Printmaking – Islington Green (quilt backing)Īs I was making the block I was thinking of all the ways I could the mushroom as decor….because my house need some help!

We find so many little critters, unique leaves, and lots of different plant-life. It’s so much fun to explore the wilderness, especially with my young boys. It’s Week #2 of the 9-week Fall Block Party and I’m ready to take you into the deep woods… I just love this season with the air getting crisp, the foliage changing colors, and the weather is cool enough for a good long hike. ![]()
