I had things I could have been doing to get ready to quilt next week but it’s my birthday so I “allowed” myself to start a new quilt. I’d found a set of fat quarters and yardage I’d kitted up last January and I decided it was time to use them.
Several years ago I bought a kit at Connecting Threads called Stop and Walk … it’s no longer available but I used the same blocks for this one. A framed square and rail fence blocks.
I got all the blocks made and even got the top assembled! It might be too beige/brown for some people but I like it.

The quilt doesn’t use a lot of the fat quarters so I’ll be adding in some golds and making a second quilt. Probably a 16 patch but I haven’t decided for sure.

Happy Birthday Mary! It’s ‘Chers birthday also. Funny thing- I was just cutting some homespuns and black to make the same stop and walk pattern.
Happy Birthday, Mary! I hope your day is full of all the things (and people) that make you happy-
Happiest of birthdays, my friend. And what better way to spend your day than doing what you want and love.
Happy Birthday. Great pattern for donation quilt. Love the colors.
I love it! P. S: I literally just this afternoon found 2 sets of brown FQs (& border/binding fabric to go with both of them) this afternoon so I guess it’s true… GMTA indeed!
Happiest of Birthdays to you! Cant wait to see your finished project!
Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday. Today is my grandson’s birthday too. A beautiful day for you,
