Autumn Postcard Challenge

I offered to organise a postcard challenge for Region13 of the Quilters Guild, the theme would be autumn and the deadline for posting - Nov 5th. That was set on the second Saturday of October and here I am on Nov 4th, nearly but not quite, finished. So what happened? No ideas, that's what - not one, lots of colours in my head but no way of putting them together. In desperation I "Googled" and found a wood cut of leaves falling on a whirling background that I thought I could use. That was last weekend, last night I was almost done but honesty prevailed - I didn't like it at all. Tonight I got home from work knowing that I had only this evening to make the thing and presto - a rich collage of autumn colour. I was so anxious to try something new that I'd lost the thing that makes autumn so special to me - the gorgeous colour, even here in rain sodden England!













(And I got to try out some of the quilting that I used on my last project!)
