I started my next quilt the week after Christmas and it's been my Big Winter Project. I finished it yesterday and am so pleased with how it turned out.
I decided I wanted to try a completely different kind of quilt. This one is a pieced quilt. 48 different blocks all in a blue color scheme.
I found the patterns in a book "Quilt As You Go Made Modern". It was fun tackling each design, some were very simple and others very complicated. I wanted that old country vibe, something that looked like an old heirloom. For the backing I used some fabric I found at an estate sale a few weeks ago, a whole bolt of Scalamandre that was a STEAL at only FIVE BUCKS for the whole thing.
That's quite fancy and expensive stuff, I've still got a lot left, I'll be using it for a while.
