I tend to like more vintage fabrics, but often prefer modern quilts patterns and techniques. :-) It gives a fresh look to older, tried-and-true fabrics for me. Good job on that one. Mary E.

I can't tell for sure but it sounds like the fabric was already in a quilt top but you decided to change the pattern? I don't know what the old top looked liked but this one is going to be fabulous.<br /><br />I do the same thing when I lay out a quilt -- on the floor in one room with the sewing machine in another.

Great idea, finish two ufo's then the treat of a new project. I like the idea. I doubt if I have the will-power to make myself do it. Why not move your sewing machine to her room?Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032916395238804901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-2287416391705935992014-09-23T12:33:30.218-06:002014-09-23T12:33:30.218-06:00The fabric looks great in this pattern, and how ex...The fabric looks great in this pattern, and how exciting that you found even more of it.

The pattern I am following is from Kathie Holland (Inspired by Antique Quilts blog) and was published in American Patchwork and Quilting. It is called Charming Addition and was entirely in Civil War repro fabrics. <br />Even though I cut mine out a year or so ago, I haven't started sewing yet. Keeping it all straight has me nervous. : )<Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-66680392190855419502014-09-23T08:17:59.596-06:002014-09-23T08:17:59.596-06:00It took me nearly 2 years to decide to change one ...It took me nearly 2 years to decide to change one of my girl's rooms into my sewing room...I did leave the bed up the following two years and just sewed in there until this last year...I went all out...so I totally get that!<br />I love the fabric and the plus Quilt!!!!
