I love Autumn and Spring here in Australia., they are my favourite seasons weather wise. The only down side is that we don't have the gorgeous colour of the deciduous trees because it just isn't cold enough here.
To celebrate Autumn, I have changed the quilt on my lounge wall. This is Indian
wedding ring from a
Karen Stone pattern and is my first paper foundation piecing project made in 1997 for a guild challenge. I won first prize for it. It's machine quilted in that nylon thread which I wouldn't use again.

This quilt is amazing. I just love the colors you chose. I would award you the top prize also.

Janet it is stunning. Your paper piecing is exquisite.

I'm enjoying my Henry Ford book and I want to make all of the quilts in it. Care to join me?
Very pretty quilt......What alot of work,beautiful. Amy
Beautiful quilt Janet. I'm not surprised you won a prize.
This is just beautiful. I love it. I have a pattern of hers I bought when a beginner and need to get out and try now that I have done a little pp.
You have made so many incredible quilts!!! This one is wonderful!
Absolutley Fabulous.!!!!! what more can I say..Love it.!!

Here in New England we are just going into Spring and it is GREAT!!! A week ago we had 16 degree weather and 8 inches of snow. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and almost that today! So we are REALLLY REALLLY looking forward to some warm weather after the rough winter we've had.
That quilt is so exquisite. Thank you for posting it. Linda
Beautiful quilt. But hard to think that you are entering autumn when we cannot shake winter here in the Pacific Northwest. When will spring arrive?
Wow Janet! This is amazing! No wonder you won first prize!
Wow - I LOVE it! I can see why you would win 1st place - it's wonderful! Now if spring would just get here permanently.....I'd be 1 happy camper

Another true beauty! I want to be your neighbor so I can enjoy all your quilts up close and personal. :-)
Love your new header!
The result was worth all the work you put into this quilt. I'm not a lover of paper piecing but I love the result. I agree, forget invisible nylon thread.
Wow, I can see why you would win a ribbon. That quilt is fabulous!
Oh my! LOVE that quilt!!! Fantastic color!!!!
I love your quilt, and I especially love the contrast between the brilliant blue and the autumn hues. I, too, miss the bright fall colours of the east coast. Here on the coast of British Columbia we don't see those colours but live in a world of cool blue, gray, and green.
How beautiful is that...it sounds funny to hear about Autumn when we are just going into spring there. Blogs sure make it a small world!
What is it you hated about he nylon thread? Was it the invisible thread?
OMG. Just. FABULOUS.
My comment is a bit late, but I've just found you! And as this piece proves, your upholding the tradition of needlecraft excellance that New Zealand and Australia are known for.
Wow .... a stunning quilt and this says Autumn for sure! We're slowly limping into spring here in Canada and we look forward to some warmer temps. It has been a very cold winter.
