There is something about wee four patches that just grabs my heart! How about you?
Welcome, Sweet Peas. A very lovely Monday to you!
Are you ready for the first full week in September?
I think we need to hit the ground running and enjoy every thing this month has to offer . What about you?
I am thinking pumpkin pies, ball games, corn mazes, hay rides.
Hmmm what else can we do? Oh, I must not forget the fall stitching and quilting. 😀

Lots of wee four patches have been in the works for a new fall mini quilt.
The four patches are made of 1 1/2"squares (unfinished).
I decided to pair them with a rust colored fabric.
10- 2 1/2 rust colored squares and 10 wee four patches will make up this simple quilt.
Soon the blocks were pieced and ready for a simple border.
2 1/2" strips to the rescue.
For the side borders , I cut 2 strips 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" .
For the top borders, I cut 2 strips 2 1/2" x 12 1/2".
Lickety split a wee fall quilt is completed and ready for the hoop. Hmm what should I name it? 🤔 Maybe Autumn's Delight. What do you think?
Crumbs, Crumbs and more crumbs were pieced in a "wiley niley" style . This was my leader/ ender project as I worked on the four patch quilt.
Alrighty , y'all that what going on in the holler- a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a whole lot of nothing ! Hee! Hee! 😁😂🤣
But at least a little four patch has been made.
Have a marvelous day and ...
As Always...
Happy quilting and stitching, y'all

Happy September Mz Melisa! Nice 'see' you. teehee Well, dear lady I'm crazy about your 4 patch little quilt. It's adorable. Seriously adorable. After a year of not sewing on the sewing machine I'm finally getting the itch. A nice 4 patch would be a very good start. Just nod your head up and down. LOL I'm thinking out loud. LOL Enjoy Labor Day - stitch the day away. DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteHappy September, Sweet Darlene. Oh my when I read the other day that you had not touched the sewing machine, I said "What?" Hee! Hee! Oh yes a four patch would be a great way to ease you and your sewing machine back into business. LOL. I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day . It has been a scorcher around here. I haven't picked up my needle and thread in a week. I better get to stitchin' . Big hugs.
DeleteLove you adorable 4 patch, it’s a perfect little fall quilt. The colors of your fabric just holler fall. You have a great stitchy day my friend. 🤗🧡
ReplyDeleteAaaah thank you so much, dear Patti. I was ready for a four patch finish. They are easy peasy . LOL. Hope your September is off to a great start. Big hugs.
DeleteSometimes the easiest are the prettiest! Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh they are, Donna. I do not why I am drawn to the simplest of patterns, but they make my heart sing. I hope you had a great Labor Day and are staying as cool as possible. Hugs.
DeleteLovely fall display! Your "wee" four patches are darling.
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Linda. I just finished the little four patch and added the binding. I hope to show it all quilted here soon. Have a wonderful evening, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteCute little Fall quilt, Melisa--Fall is my favorite season...Happy Labor Day hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteOh I love fall too, Julierose . I was looking at some of my fall quilts last night thinking I need to work on a new one. They are addictive to make. I hope you are having a great week thus far. Hugs.
DeleteYay Fall decorating shall begin this week at my house!! Your 4 patches remind me I have a little basket of plaid/homespuns somewhere!
ReplyDeleteEeeeh! I love fall decorating. I pulled out a bin last night so it is time for me to decorate as well. Oooh I just love homespuns. I hope you find them and create something spectacular with them.
DeleteAutumn Delight looks fabulous. Love the fabrics you are using! Have a wonderful September, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Robin. I enjoy working with the warm autumnal colors. This was a fast one to piece up too. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. It has been hot around here, but is supposed to cool down this week. Hugs from my holler to yours.
DeleteVery cute fall quilt. I'm pretty sure I have some of that brown with the roses lurking in my stash someplace. Enjoy the cooler weather this week.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that brown fabric yummy? Can you believe I got it at the thrift store? I think I have a little over a yard. It was a great find. Thank you so much, Kate for the sweet visit and kind words on my mini quilt. Hugs.
DeleteAutumn Delight is just that --- a delight full of Fall colors. 4-patches and 9-patches speak to me too. Sweet! Have a great week. We are having an Autumnal start to our week. Hope you enjoy some of this weather too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes , I think 4 and 9 patches are the best! I am always drawn to those simple patterns. Thank you so much , Susie for the sweet visit. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. Hugs.
DeleteYour little fall quilt is such fun! I love those colors together - they definitely do make you think pumpkin pie and spices. Happy September, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to start the month off with a little quick fall quilt. Can you believe it? I want to make another. LOL. Thank you so much, Diann . Have a great evening and Happy quilting. Hugs.
DeleteA very happy Labor Day to you and family, I reread your Fall Parade post and Love love all of your designs! You have been a busy bee with all of your sweet posts. Looking forward to cooler weather here in Arizona but not seeing it yet, lol! Enjoy the week and love your sweet creation with the tiny 4-patches. I have a doll cradle that may need this little creation soon. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHappy September, dear Mary. I hope the month is off to a very lovely start for you. It has been a scorcher here, but hubby and I have been camping so we have pressed on. LOL. Aaaw a little four patch for a doll cradle would be perfect. I hope you make one soon. I bought a little doll bed a few months ago but have yet to sit it out or put a quilt or doll in it. Shame on me! Hee! Hee! Big hugs from the holler. Stay cool, Sweetie.
DeleteSuch cute wee 4-patches, Melisa! Love your stack of little fall quilts! Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. It was a simple quilt, but it certainly has made my heart sing. Big hugs.
DeleteAutumn Delight is an adorable little quilt. I bet it won't take you long to have that quilted and ready to add to your awesome fall decor. Have a great week, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much. I got this little quilt all quilted and the binding done! I was thrilled to get it completed in just a few hours. Now I am ready for another one. LOL. I have to admit I am a bit addicted to 4 patches. Have a wonderful and productive week, Jeanna. Hugs.
DeleteWhy do we forget that simple can make such wonderful things. The Autumn Delight quilt is a touch of perfection for this new season. Great fabrics. Those string blocks are looking very interesting. I am still harvesting but things are slowing down with the cooler weather. Hope your holiday weekend was a good one.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the simple quilt patterns. I just can not get enough of making four patch quilts. LOL. This one is my first wee fall quilt of the year. I picked a couple of tomatoes today and still have a few peppers to harvest. The squirrels are snatching the pears and muscadines and the opossums are harvesting our figs. LOL. Oh well, they have to eat too, I guess. Have a wonderful evening ,dear Ginny. Hugs.
DeleteSuch perfect fall colors for your pretty little quilt, Melisa! It's really cooling off here at night--down to 47 this morning. Time for those flannel sheets to make an appearance :) Happy September to you! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh wow , Carol. It sounds like it is nice in your neck of the woods. It was in the low 90's here today but it sure felt hotter. Last week it reached 103 and the school had to call off the sporting events. Thankfully it is supposed to get cooler as the week continues. Happy September, Carol and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteLovely fall colors!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Happy September, dear Isabel. Thank you so much for the kind words on my latest finish. I am head over heels in love with this new mini. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteGorgeous quilt Melisa! You find such great fabrics. Happy September dear friend. 😁👍🙋♀️👋😘xx Hugs from Barbara @flashinscissors
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy September, Barbara. I hope you have been doing well. It is hard to believe we are already into a new month. Thank you so much for the kind words on my latest quick quilt. I just finished the quilting and binding and hope to show it completed very soon. Have a beautiful day, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteI used the center design of your wee little autumn quilt pattern and started stitching up a little sunflower quilt for me. My border ended up being different than yours as I was using strips and left-over pieces from my fabric stash. Just wanted to say "Thank You" for your sharing of ideas and patterns. (Prairie Rose Needle Arts & Crafts)
ReplyDeleteAaah that just warms my heart to hear. I bet your quilt is as cute as a button. I love sunflowers and what a wonderful idea to use leftover strips and pieces for your border. Thank you so much for the sweet visit and for making my day. Hugs. Happy quilting.
DeleteI absolutely love this little quilt of yours! I've never quilted before but it certainly wants to make me give it a go! You are so very talented Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear. These little four patches are addictive for me. They are very simple and quick , but I do love them so. Oh I do hope you give it a try. I know you would do just fine and a four patch is easy peasy for a beginner. Hugs and Blessings.
