This is before quilting
As project #1
for the Library Project Quilt Along
I choose the Vintage pattern
from Camille Roskelly's book
Simply Retro
I had made a quilt for my sister in law for Christmas,
apparently her boyfriend tried to steal her quilt...
so she asked me to make him one of his own.
I used a mix of grey fat quarters and mixed in 4 navy prints
I also made it big enough for 2 to cuddle under,
by adding a 4th row of blocks, making the quilt 85x85 inches
I used left over navy fabric for a mixed up scrappy binding,
and backed the quilt with navy micro fleece
I am pretty proud of this one,
especially since it was my first real attempt at having so many points line up
So project #1 can get crossed off the list!!
on a side note
Look at what greeted me out my window this morning as I was having coffee
Absolute beauty!!
Happy Saturday
Stay warm
I am off to start project #2 Heartthrob!!
P.S. You can follow me on Intagram, cfrankl, I'd like it very much if you did!

Wow that is stunning with the shades of grey and an hint of navy. Just love it!
Very nice. I will have to look for this book. I love blue and gray together.
Gorgeous quilt! How was the pattern? I have been wanting to make this one for a little while now.
Great looking Album quilt! The first quilt I made was this pattern. I used all blue fabrics many gray blue colors, thus your quilt reminds me so much of mine! Congrats on making such a wonderful quilt!
Wow that was quick for such a large quilt too. I love the greys with navy.
Beautiful! Love the simplicity of the colours you chose. Very classy quilt.
I love this pattern, and your simple fabrics look great with it!
Thanks for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!
