Good day and welcome to my blog.
I've been busy catching up, back from vacation. But I was able to get a little sewing in. I had Dutchman's Puzzle blocks, some that were the correct size, and some that were too small. For the small ones, I cut sashing 1/4 inch larger, and measured and trimmed. Wouldn't you know, some are still too small, so I will have a smaller quilt and hopefully enough fabric for wider borders. The plan now is for 7 by 9 blocks. Here is what I have so far:
A nice rich dark blue for sashing. And a close up view:
A wide variety of prints and backgrounds used, fabrics from the early 1990's to now! There is quite a range for future quilt historians to ponder. I wonder if antique quilts also contain fabric from over a 30 year time span? Quite possibly.
I'll try to find time this week to get this (mostly) to a top, and ponder on borders.

This is coming along nicely! Don't feel bad about fabric age - I've got some that old too.
It's looking so great!! I am glad you are sticking with it! the sashing makes everything just shine!
