Antique quilt

Since I'm in the middle of quilting and really have nothing new to show, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my favorite quilt from the Aurora Colony quilt show last October.


Something about this quilt just calls my name.

Here's a close up.


I have the orange, red, and background fabrics.  I still have to find the green.  I'm thinking of using something from my homespun box but I haven't given up on finding something close to the original.  I also have to decide on a size and draft it.  But first, I have to finish the project I'm quilting.

A quilt by Cheri

A couple of weeks ago, Cheri had a quilt-along and then a giveaway on her blog for this cute little quilt.  The picture is from Cheri's blog --

I won!  Am I not one of the luckiest people in blogdom?  The quilt arrived today and is just so sweet.  It measures about 10 1/2x 15 1/2.  You can see from the clothespins that it's small and I love small quilts.  I always enter her giveaways and was so surprised to find out I won!  I've loved her work for, well, ever and am thrilled to have this.  Thank you Cheri!!!
