Hello, September!

It's hard to believe that fall is upon us. Our final long weekend of summer has been a glorious one, with more sunshine and warmth than originally forecast. The subtle shift of seasons is already underway, even without the calendar telling us that a new month has begun.  I can feel it in the cooler air overnight and the shorter daylight hours.  This summer was so wonderful in terms of weather, that I don't want it to leave, but I do enjoy autumn as it's so full of colour and bounty (yes, I'm still canning... and will be as long as fresh local produce continues ;o).

 

Seems only fitting that I wrap up August will a warm, sweet finish.  Peachy oranges and delicious pinks are a colour combo I just can't seem to get enough of. 

 

 

 

Originally I thought 9 blocks would satisfy as a baby quilt, but somehow I couldn't leave it at that and made 3 final blocks.  Perhaps I simply couldn't resist making more HST blocks in yummy oranges and pinks. ;o)

 

Sherbet Pips Playdot in Vanilla had become a favourite background fabric. I've used it in my Cherry Blossom Baby Quilt and  in my Swoon Quilt (which is still waiting to be quilted).

 

I love how the colours glow in the morning light and can hardly wait to figure out the backing fabric, so I can begin quilting this little quilt.

Here's to a wonderful September, no matter whether you're welcoming Fall in the northern hemisphere or Spring in the southern. ;o)
