I had all of the blocks put together at retreat but wanted to lay them out on the design wall before I sewed them together. Huh, after I laid it out, I wound up ripping apart 7 of the 8 Old Maid's puzzle blocks so I could turn those little bowtie units to match the antique. I liked that effect better. I couldn't discern the pattern for setting the blocks together from either Lori's quilt or the antique quilt, so I set them the way I wanted.
Haven't got this quilted yet, hopefully in the next week or so. Thanks, Lori, for a fun quiltalong! You can see other Quilters Madder quilts here.
Sue, what beautiful fabrics, it's going to look wonderful when it's finished!!
ReplyDeleteI like the fabrics you chose. You have some madders in there and the other fabrics you used give it more depth. Your setting looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeletelizzy at gone to the beach...
What a charming little madder top you got. (you ddi hit it right on a few times). It is scrappy and bright AND lovely! Great job. I love this one. (Mine is still on the stash's shelves, lol) ;^)
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choices! Your fabrics make it "your" quilt, which makes it absolutely perfect in every way! I, too, set the little hour glass blocks the same way! More pleasing to my eye!
ReplyDeleteHave a joy filled day!
I set the hourglasses like you did, and I think this is how the antique quilt was. Also I used the fabrics I had in my stash, I couldn't find any shirting or madders at the store where usually I buy fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like very much your little quilt!

ReplyDeleteAdorable! I'm glad you set them to please you! Mine and the antique were a bit tipsy I think!
