Printed Autumn wreath BOM Month 1

Printed for Month 1 of the Autmn Wreath Block of the Month.
***No fabric included! ***
​

The full quilt measures 40 by 40" (this is pattern 1 only) and has a patchwork background with raw edge applique animals. I use no glue, paints, or fusible. Just fabric and thread. There will be a central highland cow, and four surrounding larger blocks with a highland and autumnal theme. Connecting the outer four blocks will be a wreath of autumn fauna and flora. The outer 4" of the quilt will have a slightly lighter background. The main section of the background will be warm tans, with highlights of lilacs, greens, warm pinks with touches of reds. There will be some linen with gold metallic thread.

​
The quilt itself is in my usual style, so it is a patchwork background with raw edge applique sewn with free motion embroidery. You don't need a fancy machine to sew it but your machine needs to be able to do free motion embroidery. The pattern contains basic instructions for the patchwork. I don't go into a lot of detail on patchwork as I am assuming that you know the basics but other than the odd half square triangle, it is all pretty simple.

I use raw edge techniques and the patterns are using those instructions, but I will put in sufficient fabric that you could also use needle turn techniques, but no instructions will be given.

Hopefully that all makes sense, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.
