The top is pressed now and ready for its debut. I didn't measure it (and it's in the basement) so I'm estimating the size at 57" x 75". I took photos with 2 cameras and this was the closest to the actual color.
I took a couple closer photos so you can enlarge these and see the variety of fabrics better.
I didn't use any of the prints that had green in them. They will be in a future quilt.
I sewed more stratas for the 16 patch quilt last night. I have enough of the ladies fabric left to cut 5 blocks to alternate with the 16 patch blocks (if I don't mis-cut it). I'll show more on that on tomorrow's post.
We had huge snowflakes falling yesterday but only a dusting on a few patches of bare ground. I made a trip to the thrift shop with some more donations and stopped at one store while I was out. It was in the mid 30s and didn't feel too cold.

What a lovely piece!! I like that blue house fabric as well as the ladies...very vintage I think...;)))
32 this morning here with dark, cloudy skies; after "Springing forward" tonight the mornings will be darker for a bit.
I am working on Strawberries quilting over this weekend...
hugs, Julierose
a very soft monochromatic feel...not as big a statement as the kaffes tho...
Love this one! The colors are so attractive. The big fat snowflakes sound pretty, guess we've seen our last one for awhile!
What a delightful quilt with those soft colors and the cute designs on the fabrics! Well done!!
Hugs!
speaking of thrift stores I need to go through some things again. The quilt top turned out great
Tilda Whimsy is a lovely quilt top and your creation leaves such a lasting memory . Couldn’t help but think about it all day yesterday.
Congrats on the first quilt top of the month. I am hopeful we've seen the last of the snow for this year. We had freezing temps again earlier this week but even those are getting further apart now. We'll have a bit of a break now before "green season" (aka the yellow-green sticky pollen) descends on everything and forces all windows closed.
The soft blended prints make this such a comfortable-looking quilt. Lovely!
Perfect pattern for those fabrics!
