This is the new wreath that I have hanging on my door. I love it. It was so easy. I got packs of fall leaves at Wal-mart last year. I picked up some foam core at the dollar store. I cut it into a square. Then I pulled out the glue gun and went to work. It is super easy and it is super light...it is held on my door by a magnet.

I purchased the train fabric 3 years ago (I think) at Hobby Lobby so I could make a lap quilt for my husband. Needless to say, I didn't make it three years ago. We decided to do a train theme in my son's "big boy" room, so I spent a few hours piecing the number above. I wanted to break up the train fabric with some conductor hat fabric, but thought it would be overpowering, so I made the 4 patch blocks instead. I LOVE how the top turned out. We will be tying the quilt at his birthday party on the 19th.
Here is a better look at the patches themselves. Isn't the train fabric fabulous?

I finally finished the quilt top for my son. I bought the fabric over a year ago. I cut the squares for the center out FOREVER ago. I spent the last three nights working on it. Totaling about 7 hours. I had some trouble with the borders and not having enough fabric. I ended up having to cut the middle border down. Originally it was 1.5 inches wider. I LOVE IT.
