Hello and welcome to my blog.
I visited relatives last week, but found a little time for a finish. I set aside my complicated pie birds blocks and pulled out a top from a while ago that I had quilted by the long arm quilter that I use.
It is a pattern by Kim Brackett and in looking back on my blog entries, I found that I started this project in February 2020, when whispers of the mysterious Covid virus were in the air. I finished the top during Covid lockdown in late April 2020. And there the top sat.
It is quilted in a design of stars and swirls. And it is 65 inches square, a bit of an odd size. The fabrics are 1930's - 1940's reproduction fabrics. It's a great pattern, don't you think?
A close up of one block:
The points are made by the flipped corner square method. Lots of them.

That's an interesting block. It sure didn't take long to finish -- of course having to stay home all the time helped! Congrats on the finish.
A lot of sewing happened for a lot of people during that lock down period. Your quilt reminds me of something grandma would have made. Happy Turkey Day.
it is a great pattern and a great quilt too!
What a neat block! The quilt looks lovely. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Yay for getting it done! I love the pattern and the 30's fabric
I think that is a nice throw size. The 30s fabrics give it a cozy feel.
Hooray for a finish! I like the quilting pattern that you chose. The 30's/40's reproduction prints remind me of a quilt my great grandmother made. . .although hers was a Dresden Plate pattern! Well done!
What a fabulous finish, Viridian! Congratulations! Your thirties prints are perfect for this pattern; such a wonderful vintage quilt flair. As for Early Days of Covid... It seems like that was a nightmare I had a long time ago, and then you mention it and I think, "Oh my gosh, she had the same nightmare I did! Oh wait -- that one was REAL!" ;-)
It is such a beautiful finish, Viridian! Love the fabrics you used. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
Sweet and soft colors, and a lot of little pieces! Your stars are lovely.
Thank you for sharing your finish and linking up!
That is so pretty! I love the reproduction fabrics in it. Congratulations on your finish!
