Two new starts

 Good Day, and happy holidays!  I am back to my blog after a busy time at my day job.  I want to record 2 new starts, that will become 'official' UFO's after the first of the year.

These patterns are from the book Preserving History: Patchwork Patterns Inspired by Antique Quilts by Julie Hendricksen.  First, a snow ball type block, in fabric from around 1890 - 1900:


Blues, reds, wine fabrics, and shirtings.  Blocks finish at 4 inches so a bit of work is ahead of me.

Then, another pattern from the same book:


Same fabrics, with some earlier reds, and browns, and double pinks.  Each white square of shirting fabric is cut at 3 inches to finish at 2.5 inches.  Lots more cutting and sewing here too!  I'll need quite a bit of cutting to get to a reasonably sized quilt top.

Is anyone having a linky party this week?  I'll find out.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-MarieFinished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

Very nice new starts! I love Julie Hendricksen's quilts and books. Once or twice a year I take a trip to her shop in Sun Prairie. The shop samples are inspiring, and of course I can stock up on gorgeous repro fabric!
