Hello, and welcome to a cold bright day in the American Midwest.
Thanks for the kind words in the comments to my last post. Grandma loved the quilt Sea Breeze.
Now to update you on a finish. Cups and Saucers was started in 2022. I finally pulled it out, found a backing, and sent it to the long arm quilter that I use - she does a great job. 74 by 88 inches, cotton batting, a curlicue quilting pattern. Real feedsacks and vintage fabrics used in the blocks, Kona Snow for the background.
The overall view, above, and two close ups of blocks below, showing the vintage fabrics.
And a look at the quilting in the white areas.
No home for this one, yet. Maybe I'll keep it!
Linking up with Sew and Tell at Melva Loves Scraps, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, From Bolt to Beauty, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

That is a pretty one! That swirly quilting really complements the blocks. So great to get an older project finished up!
What a beautiful finish! I loved the overall view in the first photo! What a wonderful way to showcase vintage fabrics!
Okay, went to check out the gift quilt first and now I'm back for this one. Love it too! Wow, these are real feedsacks? I would have thought them modern prints. Great looking and now I want to add this design to the file of potential projects for my reproduction 30s prints. Thanks for sharing!
It's a fun block, and would work well with reproduction 30's prints.
Oh it is Lovely!!!! Those blocks are really great - and they look pretty time consuming - I bet you have a couch that needs it to keep it warm haha!
