wonderful gift to yourself...i like the quilting also...i love scrappy quilts.. :thumbup:

Awesome! I love the repro's. They remind me of my grandmother's quilts!

Beautiful!!!!!!!! I really like the 30's also.

Beautiful! There's a lady on here: Linda Poole who has many doing "I'm Making a quilt for Me". Please share this with her. What is this pattern called? I love it! Dawn Payne

very nice quilting, on a beautiful quilt!

Okay- I was finally pressured into digging out the pattern. It is on the front cover of Better H&G QUILTING magazine, Feb 2007 edition. Called Fresh Traditions, done in blue and feedsack.

Mine, because I never do anything quite as it's written, is a little larger- I think my print squares are 4" finished, which makes the squares 8" finished.

I have seen an old old quilt done by my great grandma and used to shreds by my cousins, in this pattern though. I think it is a pretty simple variation. My GGG's had all of the siggy blocks going the same direction though, instead of in a circle/diamond pattern. It's just how you arrange the blocks.

I could have spent time with casual friends, but making this for myself was far less sad, and far more meaningful. I don't mind being alone, though I missed my family. And doing something that feeds your soul is so much better than being the fifth wheel at another family's party.

Beautiful quilt!

Time well spent. Your quilt is beautiful!

Just gorgeous! I love your fabrics and pattern, and your quilting is wonderful!
