This week I've been tackling an older WiP. I decided it was time to get those blocks down off the "design wall" before they fell down! They've been up there for 3 oops, no it's more like 6 months now. Here's a few progress pics...
- binding decision made too ✅
So, I started out using Emma @treehouse textiles pattern, the long weekend quilt. I changed things up a bit - my squares are a different size and I made nine smaller blocks, each with concentric rounds of colour, rather than Emma's four larger trip around the world blocks.
I used a similar palette to Emma's though, loving this delightful vintage-y pink/blue/brown combo. {wink wink} You may spot the odd imperfectly perfect block here!
Finished quilt top measures 60" x 60".
Super happy to get this down off the wall finally.
Linking up with Cynthia for 'oh scrap' here
Until next time, Linda

I like that stripe you will use for binding and it is so good to see old fabrics mixed with new
I love that "eclectic look" a lot...good for you getting to doing it!!

Your combinations of old and new fabrics have created a lovely quilt top. Good choice of binding too - I always think a stripe is an effective binding choice.
Very nice homely scrappy quilt. xx
I'm going to dig out the chintz in the closet hiding under a pile of other stuff and use it! I'm staring at this and wondering how you merged one set to another
This quilt is super sweet. I think the gingham bits add that almost old fashioned vibe that gives it such a charming look and feel. Really great blend of fabrics and colors. I feel like I tell you that all the time, but it's true!!
Oh yes, Cranston Printworks take me back quite a while! The little flowered triangle fillers and the border I can remember buying many years ago, I still have a little left, somewhere in one of my baskets. I like your fabric mix here and had to smile at the title of the quilt The Long Weekend Quilt after reading that the quilt had been sitting for 6 months on your design wall.
