Another antique quilt
#14
I was thinking this quilt would look great using muslin and the pastel prints from the 30's. I would actually start with the hexagon center and build the block like a log cabin block. It would certainly go fast making the block with that method. What a unique pattern!

The more I think about it, I think a soft textured background in a light color and each of the hex squares a different print either using 30's prints or historical tiny prints such as the ones they sell at Homestead Hearth in Mexico, MO. I'm excited...now I want to get started but alas...all my quilting is packed for the move tomorrow so it will be a few weeks before I can even 'think' about sewing! I told myself that I could NOT buy more fabric and that I could NOT start another quilt until I finish at least two quilts I have started. And, I was planning on reducing my stash but I just don't see that happening with the influence of this group! I get so many new ideas and I'm inspired to do so many projects....just not enough time! Somewhere in there I have to fit in time to go to work and sleep! (grinning)
