the weeks fly by fast enough without added things to do, like this week. the guild's quilt show is coming up next month, so it's all hands on deck in addition to our regular activities...but i did manage a tiny finish....
it's the first 2020 finish for me, a small but pretty wall quilt. pattern from betsy chutchian, who made this in reproduction fabrics as previously stated. it's hand pieced and minimally machine quilted; not sure of its destination yet but it's a formal UFO now off the list.....and with the joseph's coat just about a flimsy, attention turned to another inspiration UFO....wildest dreams.
these are 16" blocks and the pattern calls for 16 of them, big enough for me a shorty at just 5'1"....this came from American Patchwork & Quilting, unknown maker owned by miriam kujac...issue is october 2009. the original has a reproduction double pink as setting pieces, but i went with a solid. being vintage explains the smallish size...there are no borders. if i add one, it'll be 2-3" and probably not the pink. *** we are on the cusp of spring here in mid-atlantic america with daffodils now blooming and cherry trees all budded. this was our no-snow winter which suits me just fine. *** after household chores are caught up, the blue/white binding will be finished and will have another UFO death this weekend. no time to slack off tho....time flies with or without the fun!
Oh that mini is so beautiful! I love it in those fabrics. Do you mind if I link it into my monthly mini post at the end of the month?
ReplyDeletenot at all...glad you like it...the paisley got me...
DeleteLove that paisley, too Grace! It is a stunning little quilt!
ReplyDeleteWildest Dreams looks like a tricky one to piece. Are you doing much of those blocks by hand? Pretty sure I'd never get 16 of those made.
Your choice of fabrics is awesome. The colors just shout "Happy"!
