October Quilt Wall Hanging

October Quilt Wall Hanging

I have to confess, October is one of my all-time favorite months out of the four seasons.

October is the leading fall month in Missouri, a time when temperatures start to dip into sweater weather and trees bedeck themselves in gorgeous colors before leaves fall and grey days slip in.

Not to mention the sunflowers and pumpkins, lots and lots of pumpkins. So many that I have learned to buy extra if I still want pumpkins for Thanksgiving because most get ordered, and sold, for fall decorating and Halloween.

These landmarks of the month and charmingly detailed in this applique October quilt wall hanging that was featured at the 2015 bi-annual Piece and Plenty Quilt Guild show in Rolla. Although less obvious, I loved the "flying geese" triangles over the patchwork leaves in the top right corner, another wonderful sighting that marks the change in season.

I missed getting the card with the information on who made this charming quilt but it appears to have won a second place ribbon. Nicely done!

Anything you would have added to mark October in Missouri?
