Good day and welcome to my blog. We are having wonderful Spring weather in the American Midwest.
Last week I wrote about my New Start: a pattern called This and That, from the Free patterns page of Quilted Twins.
I am happy to report that I have made a lot of progress this past week! I am rereading the directions to be sure I have the sashing sewn together correctly. Then I add it to the 16 patch blocks I have prepared. The top currently looks like this:
And a close up, so you see the sashing:
Each 16 patch block finishes at 6 inches square. I really like the framing of each block, and how this is turning out. So much so, that I am looking at my yellow-orange-red scraps, fat quarters, and left over jelly roll strips, and thinking of doing this pattern again in those colors.

In other news: I went to a quilt show with vendors and didn't buy any fabric! But I did buy a vintage sewing box that is missing a handle but still works very well. Closed:
And open:

LOVE the sewing box!!! What a fabulous find :-)
What a great quilt design -- looks so intricate! It will bust a lot of stash, too. Nifty sewing box!
Ohhh i love how that quilt is coming together! The sashing is super cool. Your new sewing case is amazing
The greens and blues together in your quilt are lovely! The framing is perfect!
What a fascinating sashing. I can see why you need to double check as you go along. So worth it.
Your quilt top looks beautiful, cool sashings, and a new version in shades of yellow-red would look just as stunning! Lovely vintage sewing box, very spacious for storing your things. Thank you for sharing and linking up.
