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.

ReplyDeletethose 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.
