Antique blocks
Last October when I met Bonnie she surprised me with these lovely antique blocks. I want to make a mini quilt with a few of these blocks. I can't decide if I will use the blues with shirting's to make a two color quilt or use these blocks and add a few more and make it scrappy. I already found a nice backing and binding fabric. I'm washing these fabrics a few times to give it the right antique feel which goes with these blocks.

What lovely little blocks!! I can imagine it's difficult to decide.But whatever you decide it's going to look just great; just because those little blocks look so great!

The antique blocks look gorgeous. I can see why you want the other fabrics to have a similar look. The other pictures are beautiful too.
No matter what you choose, I know the result will be gorgeous, as usual. You live in a beautiful corner of the world. Does the snow that arrived yesterday night in Belgium reached your home ? Regards.
Lovely old blocks. I love blocks with square elements. It will be fun to see what you decide to do, Lucy. So glad you are blogging again.
Lucy,
I love the trees that are cut that way along the canals--I have a painting by a friend from Raalte with those trees (and a Maas cow.
What is the name of those trees?
Beautiful blocks--I look forward to what you make with them.
Those antique blocks are wonderful - what an awesome gift! I can't wait to see what you do with them. Your winter pictures have a quiet beauty to them.
Love this landscape! I looks like home to me. Just around the corner. And the quilt parts are so beautiful with their aged look and the rippled surface. What a still life -- together with this furniture and basket!
I love that mini quilt! It's great!
Love that antique feel you're giving to these fabrics.
Beatiful photos too.
Very happy to have some news ... As usual, every thing is perfect ! Your blue blocs look already antiques ... Thanks for all ! You show us the right way !
Dag Lucy,
gisteren kreeg ik op mijn weblog een reactie op een logje van juni 2008. Ik las die reactie en zag daar ineens een reactie boven staan die ik nooit had gezien, het was de jouwe! Wat vind ik dát jammer. Ik ben vandaag meteen jouw weblog uitgebreid gaan bekijken en ik heb genoten.
Ik zag allerleerst dat je niet ver bij mij vandaan woont en Beeckesteijn is een heel vertrouwd beeld voor me omdat ik vroeger in Beverwijk op school zat en een vriendin in Velsen had. Ik zag verder erg leuke foto's van je kinderen en een gewéldig stuk muziek van je DH! Ook een schattig handgebreid beertje kwam voorbij en vele mooie foto's van Amerika.
Last but not least, een fantastische merklap, je prachtige quilts (vooral op die schattige poppenquiltjes ben ik verliefd), de mooie foto's die je ervan maakt in je erg leuke interieur, kortom ik voeg je heel graag toe aan mijn bloglijst als je het goed vindt, dan kan ik je volgen met heel veel plezier.
Hartelijke groeten van Corrie:

Lucy, I love your antique blocks, I am making a quilt similar to this using the pale blue and shirting fabrics for my son's 21st later in the year. I am sewing by hand and your photo inspired me to keep on going! Your blog is wonderful. Ann
Your antique blocks are wonderful - looking forward to seeing the antique quilt now!

Those are awesome blocks! I found some back in Oct when I went on retreat. I need to put them in a top yet, and then I want to hand quilt it. Now you have inspired me to get them back out!
Je blokken zien er heel mooi uit en je maak ook mooie winter foto's.
Beren groetjes,

Have a nice weekend

There is something special about antique (older) quilt blocks. Looking forward to see what you create with them.
Beautiful pictures! I love the one of the antique blocks...they look so special.
I always enjoy looking at your photos. The blocks have promise, will look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Very cute...and I love your winter pics, Tracey
Lucky you - I'd go with the whole lot together as the colours would all look good together.
Lucy, What lovely blocks! Can't wait to see what they will become in your hands. I am also looking forward to seeing more of your jacob's ladder.
Thanks for the breathtaking pictures!
Zoals altijd, met vriendelijke groetjes uit Cyprus,
Valentina
Lucy, I love your blog, I am a fairly new quilter and I am so addicted to it now. I love these pictures, where are you from it is gorgous.

These are lovely blocks...I never thought to wash several times the new fabrics I use with vintage blocks-great idea! Looking forward to seeing what you do with these blocks. I'm finally doing a 2-color quilt-a yellow and white drunkard's path (I just posted about it).
Love your old, wonderful blocks! Very pretty pictures, last ones I saw were snowy!
lucy! those blocks are lovely
and also the pictures, it looks like fall! I specially like the one with the plants moving in the wind
:)
Lucy,
The blocks are adorable- your taste is impeccable, the finished product will be eagerly anticipated! Thanks for the landscapes- your snow has melted! It sure is beautiful there. We are enjoying very cold weather for Northern California. But the plants are starting to push up
and I cannot wait to get into the garden!
Have a very nice weekend.
A gorgeous quilt.
Beautiful place and beautiful quilts. I like things that hide small stories and where past and dreams are always present.
Really pretty..place U live. I live in Northeast Fl. There isn't anything like that here. We don't have the seasons either; only 8 months of intense heat and humidity and the rest of the climate is bearable. from Bonnie
Love your site - your quilts are beautiful. Such inspiration. Louise
