This and that

The quilt lab has a new cutting mat.  It is soooo beautiful and soooo big--a whopping 24" x 36". And it was on sale at Joanne Fabrics for 40% off.
I've been playing around with more half square triangles.

I hung up a pretty fall quilt in the quilt lab.  This is a crib quilt, dating to around 1860-1870.  The brown and cheddar fabrics are solids, the green is a calico print.  One of my favorites.

  3. I need a new big cutting mat too. They have gotten very expensive since I last got one. The nearest Joanne Fabrics to me is 90 miles away. Love the antique quilt and the little green cradle is perfect with it!
