Autumn Braids

Bought the fabrics for this orange/browns wall quilt on a foray to my favorite fabric warehouse in Anaheim.  had my friend Sharon with me who went CRAZY at one of the fabric selections.  Sharon felt it was "spring" not "autumn" and therefore did NOT belong.  I loved the color, and the idea of a little bit of Spring peeking forward (or back?) in my fall quilt.

The braids were a bit challenging; the vertical rows got "wavy" and I had to do streching and pulling to make them fit.  It all came together when I quilted it by machine.  I do not particularly like autumn, since I LOVE summer, but this bright quilt is a consolation prize since I really find it bright and cheerful.
