It's Day 1 of the Fall-O-Ween Blog Hop and the topic is color.  And I don't think it will come as a surprise to anyone that the colors of fall are some of my favorites. How can you not love all those browns, reds, golds and greens?

  My sister gave me this fun bird that I put out in my flower bed every summer.  Every year by the time fall rolls around, he's buried in leaves and blends right in with them! 

And of course, if you take a look at my fabric stash, you'll find lots of browns and neutrals. 

And even my threads are the color of fall.  (By the way, these are some wool threads that I got from Sue Spargo.  I love the colors she offers and they are beautiful to work with too!)

But my favorite color of the fall has to be the vibrant reds.  It must be that "pop" of color that draws my eye to them!  This is a Japanese Maple that we have in the front yard and it's my favorite tree in the fall because of the color that the leaves change to.  Of course, by this time of the year, everything else around it is brown because it's so dry.  Maybe that's why I love to use brown and red together in a quilt.  Huh.  I never made the connection until right now....

So that's enough of my ramblings.  Make sure you go visit Gudren and get your free project!  I'm sure she has something wonderful and fun for you!
