You know I love vintage quilts and I spend a lot of time on eBay looking for inspiration. I love quilts set with plain alternate blocks but for some reason I don’t ever think I have just the right fabric for it.
I think I just need to go for it … a churn dash or sawtooth star maybe?!
Of course I have work to do before starting anything else and next up will be the green and brown Flock of Geese but I’m happy to report that I did spend about an hour and a half in the sewing room today and all the RWB half square triangle blocks are done and that top is ready to assemble AND I loaded the next t-shirt quilt from Mom on the longarm and that’s ready to quilt.
Adam is coming tomorrow to visit for a few days but he won’t get here until late so maybe I can manage some assembly or quilting time in the afternoon!
I am with you there, love the settings with plain blocks but never seem to make them. Just got the churndash for the Accuquilt and I think I can…I think I can! Lol Now to look for fabric for the plain squares. So glad to hear about Big Canoe closing. Have fun with Adam!
I love those quilts also but have never made one. I especially like them in the 30’s style fabrics. I’ll be interested in seeing what you do.
I’m always partial to churn dash quilts! Love the on point layouts with alternating solid blocks.
I am impressed with your ability to keep on task and doing stuff. People that I know that have had thyroid issues find both difficult after surgery. Weariness attacks the ability to keep your mind on anything. I vote for the sawtooth star concept, but I love stars f almost any variety.
I definitely find it challenging and I hope it’s going to get better but in the meantime, I’m trying to get what I can done.
