1718-ish Coverlet




Made four more blocks today.  The applique was time consuming, but the pieced blocks were a breeze.  I like the Kaffe gold and gray striped block a lot...not in the pattern book.  Already I have strayed from the original quilt design, but that was bound to happen.  I am taking some"liberties" with the blocks now.  However, I really admire those with the skill and patience to follow the original.

  3. Stripes are very cool looking in most any kind of application, I think. Love the blocks you have going here, Helen.

  4. Yours is looking wonderful! I think modifying the blocks is completely allowed. Surely the original maker made hers up as she went along! I've put mine away for the moment. After all, I'm giving myself until 2018 to finish.
