A New Top

It's a top!
It's a flimsy!
60 x 72

I've seen this block called Pieces of Eight and I've seen this block called Cheyenne. I saw a picture and made my quilt with no name. 



I made my set of 30 twelve inch blocks last year when I was working with my collection of '30s reproduction fabrics. I added some muslin as well as some plaids, homespuns and old shirts.



And sew on...

  1. It looks like a vintage quilt top. I loved looking at all the different prints. Reminds me of grannies quilts.

  6. That's a fun design! I really like the circular shapes that form from the block layout. They're reminding me of donuts, lol!

  7. How strange! Your blocks reminded me of doughnuts too. I’m afraid I don’t like doughnuts ( to eat ) but I do like your block design.
