I might have been perusing other blogs.... especially Mary Quilts blog and she had the COOLEST antique quilt on there!
Isn't that neat? The Block is called Fox and Geese - and I loved it!
so look what jumped up on my cutting table!
I used 5 inch squares for the half squares, and 2 1/2 inch strips for the opposite blocks - and of course it is not quite perfect, but this was my test block to see if my measurements would work.... and I think they do.... its just me....
SO!! I am on a mission to use up some pieces of my plaids...to replicate this quilt...
AND!! Next Friday !! ( the 16th) I HOST TGIFFRIDAY!!! So go finish something - I gave you a whole weeks notice,,, Blog about it - and come link up!!
I agree; that is a super fun antique quilt!! Have fun replicating it!!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a simple block that packs a whollop when made from scraps.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt and I can't wait to see your with plaids! The block is a classic!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern would look great in any fabric. Looking forward to your finish.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean by having 3 or 4 starts. I have a similar problem - more starts than finishes :-)
Thank you for linking with TGIFF at storiedquilts.com
Gonna be a nice quilt when it's done. Have fun with the other 3 projects, too.
ReplyDeleteThat’s so funny! I opened up your blog and thought .... wow, she found the same antique quilt I did!
ReplyDeleteWay to psych us out, Alycia. Have fun with your new quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a fun block to use up your plaid scraps. Have fun with the new project.
