This week I am sharing another paper-pieced quilt from the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK. This very clever original quilt (Top-Center) highlights the story of the Fox and Hare, with a vertical mirror image featuring the fox on the top, and the leaping upside-down hare on the bottom section, separated by colorful interlocking Star blocks.
Maker: Leah Walker
“Turning of the Seasons – The Fox and the Hare”
Original design, celebrating a beautiful and whimsical celebration of the British countryside.
We’ve set this quilt image in a collage border of Fox and Autumn-themed fabrics in stock now. You can see more of the FOQ quilts on my photo pages, and take a closer look at Leah’s quilt here.
We’ll have our first snow in the Foothills Thursday, so when I drive up to Allenspark for a guild quilt retreat Friday and Saturday, I’ll be relishing the snowy peaks of the Continental Divide. My Red Maple has taken a dramatic turn in the last couple days, and I know our new puppy Rosie will be romping in crackly fragrant piles of leaves very soon.
Sharing your love of fabric…
