Old Fashioned Charm

I've had this pattern for a few years and am finally getting started on it. It's called Old Fashioned Charm by Lydia Quigley. It's 64"x74" but I want to make it king size. The smaller size calls for 50 pieced blocks and 49 5 1/2" white blocks. I have cut enough pieces to make the 50 pieced blocks and started sewing them. I like the fabric I'm using but wish I would have used alittle darker, I'm hoping they won't disappear when put together. Here's the fabric:

These are some of the pieced blocks.

I have so many more to go. This may become a lap quilt instead of a king. We will have to see.

26 blocks done and ?? more to go.



Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Life has been happening. I do have a few quilts done and a few more to finish piecing. I'll post picture of some of them tomorrow. Just wanting to let you all know I was still around.

2nd Double Takes II

After doing the first one, I knew I wanted to do another - maybe for our room. I fell in love with this line of fabric at my LQS. It's Treasures by Chabby Chic. It's so summery and I was suprised my Hubby didn't mind the use of pinks and greens for our bedroom. I added more squares and borders to make it 110 x 105
I need to trim and bind it. Then I'll get a picture of the whole quilt.

Finally one for me!

After doing so many quilts for family last year I decided I needed to do one for me. My daughter gave me this top she purchased on ebay. I love doing curved crosshatching and I'm happy how it turned out.

Another painted quilt!

I really like doing these little quilts

Quilt Painting

I watched a video on QNNtv's Quilt IT! on quilt painting with Irena Bluhm. I just loved the look of her quilts, so I had to give it a try. I need to bind it. I'm so happy with how this turned out and it was so easy. My mind is just spinning with ideas.

Finished Double Takes II

I finish this a couple days ago but didn't get pictures until today. I didn't do anything fancy just a simple meander. This pattern was so quick and easy I think I'll have to do another one soon.
