Stonefields Revisited

One of my quilting goals for this year is to do something with the Stonefields Blocks I have made.


I need a new quilt for our bed and I think the colours which I have used (mainly pinks and blues) will match the new curtains I finally made.
I bought a couple of yards of toile type cottons, which will hopefully work for sashing, borders etc and tie everything together
I have a sort of plan for a medallion style quilt, I am waiting for some fabric to arrive and I need to fine tune my ideas. I would really like to incorporate some broderie perse, a bit like this quilt by Megan Carroll

Whatever I end up doing, I know I will need a few more 6" blocks if I want a quilt to fit our bed. I have decided to join in with The Splendid Sampler, I only plan to make blocks that I really like for now and have challenged myself to only use fabrics from my scrap bins. This is block one 'Hearts a Flutter'

    Lovely blocks, your resulting quilt will be so pretty with that toile fabric mixed in. Very nice first Splendid Sampler block, I am very tempted to join in with this too.

    I like the sound of those plans and you have so many blocks there that it won't take long to make up a quilt! Lovely soft colour choices will be beautiful! Love your first Splendid Sampler block. I also feel tempted on this one:)

    Adore those blue toile fabrics. Imagine you have all the Stonefields finished; that is quite an accomplishment. I do love your Hearts Aflutter block for Splendid Sampler. Now that I've finished 50 blocks of the Farmer's Wife, I will begin the SS too. Happy Stitching.
