After finishing the last of the appliqued pomegranate blocks I am well on the way to putting a Jacobean Elegance together. Just the final borders to add.
This past Friday was the monthly meeting of my quilt guild and a reminder of a need for quilts for children going into foster care inspired me to put this top together. Quick, easy and a great scrap buster. Most of the blue fabrics are about 20 years old! Hopefully it will bring comfort to some little boy.
Finally I have played with making a few Dresden plate blocks. I can't believe I haven't tried these fun blocks before but I am sure there will me more in my future. These will be added to my sample bright blocks which I hope to turn into a quilt someday.
Hope you are finding time for some stitching this weekend.

I like the look of the applique blocks on the Jacobean quilt. A nice design and the colors pull everything together.
Love your Jacobean Elegance! the leaves are especially beautiful in their different greens. Those dresdens do look fun - and so cheerful in these fabrics.
Your Pomegranate quilt is beautiful! hugs, Julierose
It would take me a lifetime to make something as beautiful as your Jacobean Elegance. Have you ever kept track of the time you put into some of these designs?
I now see your teal color everywhere I look!! Your Jacobean Elegance quilt is gorgeous---love the movement with
those geese!! Lucky little boy would love the blues quilt top you made. Like the background blocks of your dresdens---the brights sparkle on the black/white fabrics. I found your son's book for sale at my Barnes & Noble. Maybe mom should think about writing one to keep up the family traditions??? I would be first in line to get one!!
I think the Dresten blocks could get addictive, don't you agree. I love your colourful ones and I adore the background fabric. Such fun! And elegant is indeed the right description for your Jacobean quilt.
I love the pomegranates! The Dresden plates are fun too--I like the backgrounds you have chosen.
I love your pomegranates and the flying geese are so full of color! What a beautiful top! Dresden plates are so fun!
Your Jacobean Elegance is elegant! I love the rich colours you've used. And that little boy's quilt will be loved by some little guy I am sure!
