But first I am on to other things I am sure to enjoy more. The sashing and Union Square blocks are all together. I used 4 1/2" strips for the sashing without cornerstones. I thought it would be a very fitting treatment for blocks made with my 1800's scraps since blocks were frequently sashed that way back then.
Now I am auditioning triangles for a pieced border. The triangles I am showing are from my scrap box. I am only using them to see if I want to use this size. They work for me so I will plan to work on the pieced border at Studio 3. I think I will be able to get all the triangles I need from the same box of scraps I took over there a few months ago.The same fabrics used in the blocks. Sometimes it seems it doesn't take much fabric to make a quilt.
We have had some nice winter weather this week so I took a few hikes. I'm glad for the wintertime cause to me it means quilting time. In warm weather I have a hard time balancing my quilting time with my outside time. Sometimes the days seem so short. Does that mean in the end I will feel like life is too short?

Sitting Pretty turned out beautifully, as did Union Square.
I think the first quilt is really cute. Love the blue sashing on the second one.
Gayle, Both quilts look great. These are two eras that I really like. Bravo! ...enjoy the quilting journey even if the days are too short sometimes to do all we hope to get done. Kathy Aho in MN
I too like the first quilt, busting the 30's fabric. I haven't joined in on that challenge mainly because I don't want to start another project. I'm going to have to take a look at your new book as I own the ruler and a UFO from your first 30 something book. It's on the list but who knows when I'll pull it out to work on it.
Lovely quilts Gayle. I especially love the one from the 30's print. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
