Time for a pretty spring quilt...
I call this a make-do quilt. What do you do if your nine-patches don't come out right? We would probably re-do them, but not this 19th century quilter. Just add a little strip of fabric and it fits just fine.
I love that the quilt is not perfect and symmetrical. It has so much personality.
Time for the bunnies to come out...
and time for the Easter eggs to come out, too.
You have such a lovely collection, and your decorating just sighs "homey". You must have a very cozy home. Enjoy spring! -Joanne
ReplyDeleteThe seasons seem to have changed so quickly. All you northerners seem to have a "spring" in your blogging now that the seasons are changing. Your redecorating looks lovely. Enjoy the spring.
ReplyDeleteoh I love that nine patch quilt, ah yes my favorite block !
ReplyDeletegreat fabrics in this quilt.
oh the eggs look great in the cradle!
isn't it nice to have the house to yourself!

Your quilt is lovely. It does have a lot of personality and I'm sure whoever made it would love the ffact that it is lovingly displayed in your home. Your bunnies and eggs in the cradle are wonderful. You must have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteI use to look forward to time alone at home when my kids were growing up and so active. Now that they are all out on their own, I miss some of the fun of having them all home with friends dropping by and all the running around to scout meetings, softball games and sleepovers. But now I have time to sew! ! !
It all looks so charming, Ann. You have a good eye for design. The quilt is wonderful. Waste not, want not - and it served the purpose for which it was intended. Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteYou always have so many cute things in your blog post each time. I always look forward to see what you will have 'next time'. Today's are special! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI love that not so perfect quilt! The bunnies are adorable :) Christine
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies are so cute. Your quilt is special, I like that it isn't perfect. Your house always looks so great. I am inspired to get out my spring-ish quilts.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do a bit of spring clean up today too. I love the quilt and the decore...especially the lovely wooden eggs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great 9 patch, so much personality. Your house looks so nice; interesting things to see!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to find old quilts that have "make do" parts in them. I wonder how many husbands found pieces of their shirts missing?? Or how many of these little pieces maybe came off the hem of an old dress or something?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your half day off;)
Happy Quilting!!
You make so many perfect miniatures that I understand your reasoning for loving this one! I used to take a day once a year to be "alone" at home to get things done, or just enjoy the peace & quiet. Your bunnies are wonderful too. I have one that comes every night to eat the seed on the ground under the bird feeders. Much better than raccoons & opossums! Glad to hear that you have all your projects done for the upcoming show. Congrats! Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your spring decorating. I am jealous that you can accomplish that much in a half day off from work.
