"Moving right along", as Kermit the Frog used to say/sing---isn't it funny how some things stay embedded in your brain?
I completed my little medallion quilt, now named Attic Treasure. I made two, in fact. This is the second, and it made up quicker, since I already had the design and fabrics in mind. With the second quilt I tried using a controlled amount of fabric as if from a kit. I tried not to over-duplicate. In the end, I couldn't help myself--I had to add a few more little pieces, especially around the outside border.
The shop always keeps my quilts on display forever, and so if I want to keep one myself to enjoy, I must make two! Which is not at all that difficult when they are only 18 inches square. I love the look of lots of busy fabrics. I guess you can see that! As always, my quilt contains old and new fabrics mixed. There are a few in there from Windham's Harriet Beecher Stowe collection, and always lots of Judie Rothermels fabrics. I learned a long time ago that I am not the only one who loves to look at quilts and point to fabric pieces that I recognize and perhaps own. Aren't we funny?
Didn't it turn out just great?? Love the star quilted at a jaunty angle, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt. Do you sell your patterns?
ReplyDeleteOh Marcie, it's wonderful! And I love those fabrics that you have in it...as a matter of fact, there are several pieces that I would love to have some of!
ReplyDeleteMarcie - That is a beautiful little quilt top -- everything just blends together so well. I love the star quilted into the center, too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Yes, I too will pore over a quiltlet such as this looking for fabrics that I know, and maybe even own myself... we ARE funny that way.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - I love the variety of fabrics. Quilts of this size are such fun to have around the house. You can never have too many.
ReplyDeleteI read Widow of the South a while ago. I was a little slow getting into the book but enjoyed it in the end.
ReplyDeleteLove it...the variety of fabrics is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of fabrics and the way it turned out. Keep well.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is one darling quilt, Marcie! I had a good chuckle about your liking to recognize fabric collections in scrappy quilts. I'm the same. It's kind of like an adult game of eye-spy, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to visit...you've made your blog very inspiring and inviting!
It is wonderful! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThat little quilt turned out lovely! I'm sure the LQS is going to sell a bunch of kits with your pattern! I mean: who wouldn't want this little darling in their home?
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt Marcie! I love Judie Rothermels fabrics too. I think we all have the issue of just having to add one more color here and there to the bunch! At least I do!
