Ease into Autumn Color Option

Big Block Style

For a throw with maximum impact made in a minimum of time, eliminate the Rail Fence blocks from Ease Into Autumn and simply join 8-1/2" squares in straight rows. Or, add a little interest with a few Rail Fence blocks randomly scattered across the quilt top.

Quiltmaker Mary Pepper stitched a 7x8-block throw from a few large-scale prints balanced with polka dots and small prints, and framed it with brown print binding. The stippling (or meandering) by machine-quilter Randy Simdorn provides the quilt with allover texture. Machine washing and drying the finished quilt results in a slightly puckered, relaxed look.
