    That's a great combination, tradition and sophistication together.

    Gee this turned out pretty! So worth your while to spend the time on it. What is the name of that block? I just realized it is a post from two thousand twelve. How funny!

    Marian, Your quilt inspired me to do my own. It took me awhile, especially since I had to plot out the Toille directionally (not my strong suit evidently!), but here's a picture of the flimsy.

    I'm another that got inspired by this to make one like it. I just finished the floppy last weekend, and my husband announced this one is a "keeper" it's only the second quilt of all I've made that he's claimed.

    I also fussy cut the toile so the larger squares all have full scenes, and I didn't cut off anyone's head. I didn't for the rest, but did pull out a few from the smaller cuts. My fabric has one scene with a horse and sleigh, and I ended up with about 5 pieces that aren't much else but the horse's tail end.
