The view from my desk is turning more golden. When I look out this window the nearest tree is this type of birch. It turns gold but doesn't drop it's leaves until much later in the season. Toward the right side I can see branches from a maple, and toward the left are the naked branches of an ash. Those ash leaves all fell in a 2 day period. The maple is looking more brown than its' normal red, possibly because we had a hard freeze before it started changing color.
It's always nice to check off another finish. Bee Patriotic was a Lori Holt sew-along a couple of years ago. At the time, I had just finished a Quilt of Valor, so decided to make a smaller version of the blocks and to use something other than red, white, and blue.
I've had the flimsy done for a couple of years but couldn't decide if I wanted to make it into a floor pillow or wall hanging. It's about 30" square. I finally decided on wall hanging or table topper, and had it quilted at The Pin Cushion. Becki did this Baptist Fan on it and I love it. The binding is actually just scraps from that border - which was leftover from a previous quilt backing.
Stay tuned for another quilt top finish this week, because I'm optimistic that will happen.

Your house row is gorgeous! Will the houses be all the same color family throughout?
pretty tree! The tree I see from my sewing room window is still green - it turns late in the fall and will get a lot of yellow/red leafs on it in another couple weeks.
You still have leaves! That is one pretty table topper with the different squares!!
Oooh, the Baptist Fans look super! Great job on the house/tree row: you’ll have it finished before you know it. Nearly all the trees are bare outside my sewing room window.
