30's Trip Around the World
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm so happy to have this quilt finished! My wonderful hubby encouraged me to purchase the kit 10 years ago! I was intimidated by the 2000+ little squares and the strata style of assembly. I used 100% cotton batting and a very small meander (stipple). After it was complete, I machine washed and dried it to give it the antique look. I love it!!! My husband says I have to keep this one. I think I will. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Thanks! I can't take credit for the fabric. It's all 30's reproduction fabrics based on an antique quilt that was a kit. I love the fabric too and have lots left over which I'm making into a hexie project.

Just 10 years... not bad

Wonderful quilt-love the colour combination.

Gorgeous pallet! Working with little blocks is intimidating, I agree. I almost died doing my postage stamp quilt. Kudos to you for staying the course and bringing it to such a beautiful finish. Thanks for sharing.

Just so lovely.
A blessing for every stitch you put into it.

kathdavis 07-16-2012 10:48 AM

Wow! Very impressive. Looks like a lot of work, but with great results.

I am currently working on a queen size postage stamp quilt. 3584 - 2" squares needed, everyone is different!

If you just can't bring yourself to keep this, you could send it my way... LOL! I love 30's fabrics anyway & this TATW is just a gorgeous example of them! You should be so, so proud of yourself! Kudos!
