Autumn Quilt




I finished this quilt today. I used a simple, oldfashioned, more or less haphazard way to assemble the pieces for the top. (patchwork and quilting: all handmade) 
I used all kinds of fabrics, many scraps tell me stories about friends, family, travels... some of the fabric pieces are very old, they were parts of a tablecloth used by my grandparents. Some buttons, which I attached to hold all layers firmly together - in addition to some rough quilting stitches - , originally belonged to old bedlinen which was used in my family when I was a kid. The quilt is stuffed with warm materials, so it's fine for the cooler days and nights to come!
