Here are about half of the blocks laid out on the floor a few night ago. I realized I needed more light-on-light blocks, since that is what really speaks to me in the antique original. So I spent the last few days just making those, until I had all the blocks I needed. The finished quilt will measure about 72 x 86.
And today I'm supposed to have a golf lesson (my short game sucks!), but it's also supposed to get to 92 degrees today......so I think I'm cancelling the lesson......and I'm going to start piecing these together!
Hope you all have a great day!

Wow--you've accomplished so much in so little time! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt already looks fabulous! I'm noticing the light on light in old quilts and the impact they make, too.
ReplyDeleteGonna be hot here, too. Good day to stay in and quilt!
This is going to be a beauty. Retired or not, that was fast!!
ReplyDeleteGood thing it is going to be hot today so you "have to" cancel your lesson and get this put together. : )
Good grief! Let me get my jaw off the floor...that's amazingly fast! So beautiful! Yay you!

Wow! It looks so awesome! And I agree, sitting in the AC sewing is the best activity for a too-hot day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like retirement agrees with you, Regan! I think spending a day piecing all those beautiful blocks together sounds better than golfing in 90-degree temps! You certainly are on a roll. I can tell I'm already going to love your quilt.
ReplyDeleteAre you sleeping?? LOL! These are gorgeous! And I know exactly what you mean - I'm really hoping my unemployment will end in retirement :). Great quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove it! :)

ReplyDeleteYou're making me feel like a lazy slug.
Wow is all I can say. Awesome blocks its going to be a fantastic quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood golly, that was fast! Absolutely love this quilt. So much bias to deal with when you piece it together...do you have any hints? Did you leave the papers on the triangles?
ReplyDeleteblocks look great, good for you staying inside too hot out there, surprised its that hot in Maine too!
