Vintage Quilt Block Inspiration

Today I’m excited to share with you a quilt I’ve been working on this summer. It’s inspired by an old quilt that I found at a thrift store and features a unique Vintage Quilt Block design.

This is turning out to be quite a crazy week. I sat down and realized I had nothing done to blog about this week. It seems I’m in the “middle” of several different projects and just don’t have anything finished! I finished my t-shirt from my “selfish” sewing a few weeks ago. Now, I just need to photograph it, which means putting on makeup —a difficult task in the Summer.

My Vintage Quilt Block Project:

Since I’m “in between” a few things, I thought I’d sit down and tell you about a quilt that I’ve got in progress right now that I’m very excited about!

After I posted the finished pictures of my Guest room MANY of you asked if I was going to show you how to make the block on that vintage quilt that I bought to go in the room. Well, the answer is YES! I purchased the quilt, thinking it was a great block to try to redo. I don’t think it has a name… am I wrong about that? Does anyone recognize it?

Well, I sat down and got to work, and after several tries, I’ve got it down!

I must say that I’m very excited about the direction it’s headed!  It’s a fun little block to make, but it does take a bit of cutting. I’ve decided to make it into a quilt for my daughter’s bedroom. She’s been asking for a quilt for a long time for her bed, and I think the pinks and aquas will be perfect in there.

I pulled out a collection of fabrics to use and have been busy planning out all of my blocks.  Since this quilt does require a bit of math and several steps, I’ll be releasing it as a pattern later this summer.

Where to Buy the Pattern

This block has been adapted into an entire quilt pattern, the Bluegrass Crossing Quilt! You can find it in our shop.
