"Gateau de St Honore" block 1 of 2.
This block best depicts the theme of my Stonefields quilt.
I've chosen a 1930's Farmhouse theme. My goal for this quilt is to look like a true Scrap quilt that could have been made by a Homestead/Farm wife during the Great Depression.
I'm using reproduction fabrics in plaid, floral, geometric, feedsack, shirtings and children's novelty prints. These were fabrics popular/available in the United States from 1910 thru the 1930's.
"Gateau de St Honore" block 2 of 2
I'm calling this one my Parade of Bunnies.
This 2nd block is more reflective of fabrics from 1910 thru perhaps 1925. The fabrics of 1910 - 1920's were more pastel. Blue on White diaper prints and stripes were also very popular at this time. Colors became bolder and brighter again during the 1930's.
"The Stars" blocks 1 thru 4 of 4
These represent floral prints from the 1920's and 1930's.
"Pomegranate" blocks 1 and 2 of 2
These are both the same size, I just blew one up bigger for you to see the Bunny background. There are 13 blocks assigned for Month #1. I've completed 8 so far and am hopeful to have the final 5 ready to post by next Monday.
The Stonefields quilt is very Cheerful.
I'm enjoying the Play dates I've set aside to work on these.
I hope you are finding Joy in your Stitch work as well!
every quilt tells a story...
