Block # 5 of my Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses is complete!
I love the center ! The fussy cut on the center elongated hexagons turned out great. This fabric was just perfect. I had to choose the pink or a lavender for the corners. My husband decided the pink was a better fit so that's what was chosen. Had a bit of difficulty with some of the points, but when the papers are removed and quilting is completed, I feel it will be fine.
Back to "Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden" quilt.
While looking for 30's fabric for "Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden" quilt I found this poster that was featured in Sears Catalog! Wait, What! check the prices.
What a treasure! Buying at 1/2 cent is a hoot!
My first quilt English Paper Piecing Quilt. Pattern (first made in the 1930's) is called Grandmother's Flower Garden, made in all 30's fabrics. It will be a while before it is finished. Heard several quilters call EPP "Slow Sewing"! It is slow, since it's all hand sewn.
I decided that this quilt will be called "Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden" after my grandma who loved flowers and always saved seeds! I know she would love this quilt.
