Here's just one block for a better look at the cornerstone. The sashing is an old Documentaries print by Benartex I found in a shop last November. I had bits of this print in other colorways, but not this brown. The one yard piece was enough for the sashing with some to spare for future scrap piecing.
I was hoping for low contrast on the alternate hourglass blocks (all brown fabrics), but I see I wasn't successful :). It's a 5 x 5 layout - 13 Goose Chase and 12 Hourglass.
I try to do one needle of floss on the sampler each morning before I start my day.
I'm knitting a sweater while watching the Cubs in the evenings. Last night Walla decided my project basket was the perfect spot.
A TISKET, A TASKET
A CAT IN THE BASKET
And best of all, it's peonie season - a fabulous treat for the senses!!
Have a great week!
fun post - sweet kittie, pretty peonies and great quilt project.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by the fabrics in your quilt. You must have quite a stash. The sashing fabric really makes the blocks shine. The basket of fur is so cute. It amazes me how they can stuff themselves into any container. I love peonies too, I'm always sad when they are through blooming.
ReplyDeleteI too love that basket of furr! LOVE the 1800's reprints, I have a stash of those too, getting harder to find now that so many quilt shops are closing. And others do not carry what I want to buy.
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog today.I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through your posts. Your fabric choices are wonderful in today's offering. Gotta love a kitty in a basket and peonies are one of the floral worlds's truly beautiful offerings!
