Procrastination!
 
2 Attachment(s)
I started this quilt 2 years ago. I bought fabric that represented 30's fabrics from Connecting Threads.The pattern was from Fons and Porter. I am usually a bright colours person so when it was pieced I wasn't pleased with it . Set it aside then last Sept. did all the applique.So this month I home machine quilted it 90 X 96 inches. ITS Finished ! I do like it better now.

Thank you.Its from Fons and Porter mag. May /June 2013 Its called Aunt Gracies Garden and uses the 54-40 or fight blocks and Shoo Fly blocks. I used the Tri-Recs Tool rather than the templates

Lovely,I started collecting fabric for this quilt. I have haft of the 30s picked out.

QUILTNMO 10-24-2015 03:07 PM

very pretty!!!

zozee 10-24-2015 03:11 PM

It's pretty and looks really homey and comfy. Your applique adds visual interest to the border as does the depth of dark blue. There have been quilt tops I abandoned for a time because I didn't like them as much as I wanted to, but once the quilting and binding were done, it suddenly sang!

Leslie333 10-24-2015 03:17 PM

Very pretty quilt! Those are the colors I normally use either, but I really like it!

Jordan 10-24-2015 03:18 PM

Love your quilt. Very beautiful. I also love 30's fabric and have a pattern similar to yours which I think is a Fons and Porter pattern also. I thought it was call Emily's wedding quilt which was also made in repo 30's fabric. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Jeanne S 10-24-2015 03:33 PM

Simply a lovely quilt!! Looks so peaceful, ready for some snuggling!!

Great job! I love all of the soft colors - it will be just right in the spring after the darkness of winter. Really beautiful applique also.
