Here's what I did this weekend. Finished this HST quilt made from two charm packs of Maison de Garance and Bella Moda Snow.
I really like this block. It looks great both close up and from a distance.
This is not a great photo, but you can see that the back is more French General, either from Rouenneries or Rural Jardin.
Thanks to all who left a comment about their favourite old movie on my giveaway post. Popular favourites included Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Arsenic and Old Lace. I knew most of the ones that people listed, but there were a few that were unfamiliar to me that I want to check out. Especially one with Myrna Loy and Cary Grant, two excellent comic actors. The first winner chosen by the RNG was Cathy, who owns a fabric store. (Not just any fabric store, but Wondrous Wovens, which provides excellent service, good prices and wide selection. That's where I got my hoard of hard to find Marcia Derse fabrics. Also, Cathy sells all her yardage cut to order, including fat quarters, which is pretty uncommon, as far as I can tell.) In light of her day job she generously declined the fabric pack, so I picked a second winner: Number 43 is Judith! Judith and I obviously share a passion for Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Yay, Judith! I'll pop those charms in the mail to you as soon as you send me your details!

Quilt is beautiful! I really like that block too :)
Beautiful quilt! Lovely fabrics that went well with the block!
Congrats to the winner(s)! lol
Well, obviously I missed the deadline for the giveaway, but I would like to add one more name to your list of old movies. If you have a chance, watch "The Best Years of Our Lives" - made in 1946, I think - about 3 American soldiers as they return to civilian life post-WW II. By far the best older film I have ever seen.
Beautiful quilt! Congratulations to the winner.
looks wonderful!
Yea, another weekend well spent!
I love it, and the beautiful backing choice, Lesly.
:-}pokey
Great quilt! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the Marcia Derse fabrics!

Lesly, what a lovely quilt. You are a very prolific quilt maker and I wish I worked as fast as you do! The fabrics are so pretty. I love that line.

nice colors, nice design
I love this quilt. Would you mind telling me what fabric you used for the back? The whole thing is gorgeous!
Havely, I don't know if you will see this reply to your comment. You are showing up as a no-reply blogger so I can't answer you directly. I don't recall the name of the particular print, but I'm pretty sure it came from the Rural Jardin line by French General.
Thanks so much Lesly. Much appreciated!
