"into" antique quilts?


margaret over at www.quiltstation.com.au is drafting and selling the patterns for this beauty. there are 60 blocks plus the center medallion. i am sorely tempted as i think it's a real masterpiece but i have more than a few projects already in the works PLUS others on a "want to make" list, so i have (so far) resisted the nearly overwhelming urge to cave. it would be no small feat to add this quilt to my list. i am already choosing certain flimsies to tie rather than hand quilt to save time. with one large applique project in progress and 2 baltimore books over which i have sufficiently drooled already, not to mention the hawaiian AND the civil war diary quilts, i simply have to pass on this one.....for the time being. more than once i have wondered why i didn't start quilting when i was 13 instead of 30.
