I did a thing... I wasn't planning on doing the whole quilt. I bought the "Autumn Love" Sew Simple Shapes so I could sew just some of the block as I didn't think I'd be able to do the whole quilt. I kept hemming and hawing over buying the kit and I just decided "why not?". Autumn is my absolute favorite time of the year and I love the layout and design of the quilt.  This is designed by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet and she designs for Riley Blake.   I can't wait to get started. This will be my first applique quilt that uses cotton instead of wool and I'm looking forward to trying this out... I may have wanted to start out with a smaller project, but I hope that doing it over 12 weeks like Lori is on her blog, it won't be too difficult!
