Last week I received a lovely
package from the very generous friend. I have followed all of Barbara’s blogs
over the years, but her new blog (Chintz Panels in Quilts) is making me crazy!
I want someone to reproduce every panel she posts. They are to die for!
Grab a cool drink and visit
Barbara’s current blogs:
In the squishy package were
two gorgeous reproduction chintz panels (more on those later) and this little
medallion of “George”.
It was the perfect item needed to fill my April
obligation. I love medallion quilts and I figured George needed to be the
center of attention so, I gathered a few early (pre 1840) reproduction scraps and
“By George” was born! Thanks Barbara!
I am so overrun with scraps
right now that I decided to join the “Squirrel Club” (see the button on my
sidebar). Visit Julie’s (Quilt Diva) blog post (here) to see what it’s all
about. I promised myself I wouldn’t join one more thing this summer, but this
one has NO rules and NO deadlines. How can you go wrong? Take a look and join
in the fun!
Have a scraptastic day!
I love this quilt. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt!! Great color combination. I've been looking for medallion prints, but no luck so far. It seems most new repro fabrics are ditsy type prints, I suppose that's what ppl want. I'm hoping for earlier type repro prints.
ReplyDeleteI saw your cheddar applique quilts in blogs this weekend. Congratulations!! It is a stunning quilt, and the back is an added surprise! IdI love to see your stash.....it must be amazing.
I Love your little George Quilts idea! I have some of those George panels around here somewhere.....but I needed your inspiration for them! Bring them All for show & tell next time or maybe to Judy's next quilt study group meeting.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt, especially the fabrics in the borders and cornerstones. You must have an entire wall (or more?) of mini quilts!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your April mini in August! It's a wonderful medallion of George! So nice of Barbara to send you a little package :) Looking forward to what you make as a member of the Squirrel Club. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I may even have that George panel. Lovely fabrics you found to use with it.
ReplyDeleteBy George, You did it!! April's quilt is a wonderful medallion, but of course, you could use it in February too. I'm going to be one short for the year. I might have to squeeze in one more this fall.
ReplyDeleteYou just couldn't do it, could you, Wendy? LOL You couldn't double up and let Lori's doll swap also serve as your monthly mini. :) Talk about over achiever! I think most of my monthly minis have been something I was making for a swap or some other purpose. Such a slacker here.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love what you have done with George!
I love your by George! would love to have that little medallion in my collection to make a fun mini too!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a little bit of the George W. fabric.
ReplyDeleteI like your reasoning for the mini being done in August. My kind of friend! And especially since you are joining in on another sew-along kind of thing when you said you wouldn't. We can change our minds, you know.
Love your GW mini - I also love that fabric, okay all Presidential fabric to be honest. Have fun with the squirrel group.
