Time is flying by and I am so relieved to finally have autumn weather. I started cutting for a pattern testing version of the upcoming #SiwaQuilt designed by @tessellate_textiles and this fabric reminds me so much of autumn. I will be making a 2 tone baby size. Check out all the brilliant colour options for the #SiwaQuilt @tessellate_textiles
