Good day and welcome to my blog.
When I last posted, I was playing around with some Air Castle blocks. This was part of a challenge from a mailing list I am on. I decided I really liked the feedsack fabrics with off-white, and continued making blocks. Until I ran very low on different feedsack fabrics. I have stopped at the size of 4 blocks by 5 blocks. Each block finishes at 9 inches square, and the sashing and border is 3 inches wide, so a size of about 51 by 63 inches:
1930's and 1940's fabrics look better I think with a bit of off white fabric around them. A close-up:
These vintage fabrics and feedsacks were acquired from antique fairs, antique malls, and ebay. The final quilt will be a lap quilt or throw. Still thinking about whether I will quilt this myself on my trusty Kenmore or send out to a long arm quilter.
