Good day, and welcome to my blog.
In 2025 at the start of my retirement I started on the pattern Hamilton Gardens by Bonnie Hunter. Blocks are sewn together and set on point for a dynamic look. She gave instructions for filling in the triangles around the edges that come with such a setting. But I used plain setting triangles, as you will see below.
Start of the project is described in this blog post.
Progress on blocks is described in this blog post.
The start on assembly is described in this blog post.
Today I report that the top has been quilted by my local long armer quilter, and it is bound.
And a closer look:
Every so often, the reproduction fabric squares will contain the image of a flower, a girl, or a train.
On to the next project!

What a Beauty!!! and A GREAT way to start off retirement ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I think your simple setting triangles show off the blocks
ReplyDeleteHi Viridian, what a lovely finish. Quilting always adds so much to a quilt. Enjoy it and good luck with your next project. Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful finish! This turned out so well! Great pattern, and perfect fabrics.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finish! I enjoyed viewing all the scrappiness!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love this quilt. The fabrics you uses are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this glorious finish. The 30s prints are always peaceful fabric and this quilt pattern is also peaceful and orderly. Together, they make a fabulous quilt. Bravo! ;^)
ReplyDeleteBravo, what a beautiful quilt! Enjoy having it in your bed (this winter)! Thank you for sharing your beautiful finished quilt and linking up.
ReplyDeleteLots of little pieces! This looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful accomplishment. Tiny scrappy pieces take a lot of time. Yours looks great. Did you use all 30s prints or did you mix in other fabric that had the feel of the 30s?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty setting! Congratulations on a beautiful finish, Viridian!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I like how delicate it looks with the chains running the length of the quilt. <3 Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteI saw your quilt on Jennifer's site and had to come look. No way did I did think this was a Bonnie pattern - love it - now I have an idea for using my box of 1.5" squares - putting you on my blog list
