Today I received a very nice gift from Carol, a reader of my blog. She gave me a box with a lot of fabrics . The fabrics are from the 1900’s till today. I'm looking forward to playing with these fabrics. I want to make a few mini's with them. Thank you so much Carol.
I also want to share my Jacob's ladder top! Next step is to baste it and then I can start quilting.

What a marvelous gift!! How exciting to open a box full of vintage fabric - each piece so different from each other and from what's available now. I love your Jacob's ladder quilt, its full of rich color and wonderful variety. :0)
Hoi Lucy, vanmorgen de nieuwe Quiltmania gekocht bij de krantenboer en je tulpenquilt staat er in, in de volle gloria, gefeliciteerd, Will in Parijs
It is beautiful!
What a wonderful treat to receive that box of fabrics. You can do a nice project with them.
Your Jacobs Ladder quilt is lovely. Great colors! I cannot wait to see what you do with your new box of old fabrics. :)
Your top is fantastic and the box of fabrics a treasure.
ciao ciao
What fun to open a box full of fabrics. Lots of stories there if the fabric could talk.
Your Jacob's Ladder quilt is beautiful. Inspires me to push that one higher on my list of to do's. Thanks for sharing the picture.
Love your Jacob's ladder...so very pretty!
Your Jacob's ladder quilt is amazing. I am eager to see it finished. (Easy for me to say, right?) And the surprise box of antique fabrics makes me remember that I have a couple of similar boxes tucked away in some recesses of my sewing stuff. My grandmother, still living - age 93, gave me lots of her stuff several years ago. I should sort through it and get her story on as much of it as possible.
That is a great gift! The large photos of the quilt are lovely.
Love your your quilt. It's really gorgeous.
A wonderful gift, Lucy ! I'm sure you're gonna make GREAT use of this gift ;>)
I've been thinking A LOT about you, these days, lucy ---> when seeing the new Quiltmania issue and your tulips quilt inside, I felt it was time to finish mine. (Check my blog).
Your Jacob's Ladder quilt is divine...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXO

Oh Lucy, what a beautiful quilt, really gorgeous. What a wonderful gift to recieve, I'm sure you'll make some great doll quilts with the fabrics.
Lucy, your Jacob's ladder is gorgeous, and what a wonderful gift of fabrics. Quilters and bloggers are such lovely kindhearted people always willing to share. I can't wait to see what you make with these fabrics.
Lucy what a lovely gift from Carol- I am sure that she sent it to you because she knew how much you would enjoy creating with her scraps- It looks like you are going to have lots of fun scraps to play with.
Your Jacob's ladder is really pretty- I love the combination of colors.
Happy quilting, Lucy.
Regards,
Anna
ooough your photography is as gorgeous as your quilt! I think you should rename this one "Lucy's Ladder" ;)
I love all the variety of background prints in it!

I have always loved the Jacob's Ladder block. Your quilt is wonderful! Did you get my email?
Love your Jacob´s ladder quilt!! And those fabrics are a really lovely gift!!
Have a nice day!
Your quilt top is wonderful! I love the colours you used too.
That box of fabrics is a real treasure trove! What a beautiful gift!
the fabrics are lovely, carol is very kind
and jacobs' ladder is beautiful..i love the colours
Happy quilting! That top is so pretty.
Old fabrics are great, aren't they? They really take me back in time - seeing the different textures and colours, and wondering whether they were dressmaking scraps, and what kind of clothes she wore.
Hoi Lucy
Echt super je Jacob's ladder! Ik ken het blok alleen uit sampler quilts en niet zo, schitterend. In de quitmania zag ik je tulpenquilt, erg verleidelijk om daar nu aan te beginnen. Hij staat op mijn verlangsijstje.
Groetjes
