update on Nantucket quilt

 I am a woman on a mission the next fews days. To finish my Nantucket quilt flimsy. It has been on my design wall for too long .  We are expecting snow tonight so this is the perfect time to finish this quilt.

I did happen to walk into a Ben Franklin and see this PERFECT fabric for the backing of Nantucket.  My blocks are laying on the fabric in my picture above. It is a older Minick & Simpson Prairie Paisley  fabric !  You know how I am a sucker for Paisley fabrics ;-)   Just what I wanted so I can use this quilt for Christmas and in the Summer.

So.............. 40 blocks done 50 to go  !!!!!

Have a great weekend !

Nantucket stars

It was a bumpy road in the beginning but I finally started my Nantucket quilt !

I ordered a Nantucket quilt kit a couple of weeks ago & when it arrived it was missing 1- 3/4 yard piece of  background fabric . Also I did not like some of the fabrics in the kit so I had to order a few more fabrics .  Once I had all of my fabric I started making my stars Sunday.  These are big ... 15 1/2" and so easy to make . Did I tell you how much I love this Midwinter Reds fabrics !

Now onto making the 180  9 patches .
