Autumn Crochet Garland

My new stash of colorful crochet threads is being put to good use.  Is it a garland if goes straight up and down?

The little owl has yellow and gold in it, but the difference is not very distinctive.  I tried a different owl pattern, but decided to make my own instead.  

All three of the circles are different Japanese patterns that are floating around the web.  I really, really like the bottom one.  The flower within a flower design shows up really well.

Did you notice this vintage cup and plate piece by my crocheting?  I have wanted one of these for a while.

This one is especially nice, because they used a coordinating salad plate that is not from the same set.  Bouquets like these would be partially covered up by the cup, and I like being able to see lots of flowers around it.

It wasn't until a couple of weeks later that I noticed I had hung it literally next to a bread and butter plate from the same set as the cup.   In my defense, where I usually sit one is hidden by the wood stove chimney.

Speaking of vintage flowers, here is my last piece for the 2012 Quilty Stitch Along.  I have decided to do ten instead of twelve pieces. 

This is the only one I repeated a color combination with.  Even the basket color is similar to the other.  That must mean that the peach and pink together is my favorite mix.  Here is a Flickr Set of all of them.

 Now I get to decide how to assemble them into a table runner with my Depression Era prints.

Yes, I have had months to think about it, and I still have not decided.  All I know for sure is that it will not have any applique, Prairie Points, or curves.  

Please share any suggestions you may have!
