July of 2017, I got started on a very pretty project using an old Melly & Me quilt pattern.
I'm not quite sure why it is that I've only worked on this during two Retreats, months apart... last week when I spied it in my WIPs, (or was it the PFAs? Projects Forgotten About) I decided it was time to just get down to business.

Eight blocks had already been made... sixteen are required... so I've spent a bit of time making more blocks... fun! I quite enjoy making them, despite the fact that they are a bit fiddly.
I love the simplicity of the two colours; they're so pretty.
I also love the various secondary patterns created with the block layout.
A 17th block is required... the very first one I made, all seams were pressed to one side, but then I realised that because of the way the blocks rotate to be sewn for the quilt centre, the seams would be bulky. All blocks were then sewn with seams pressed open... fiddly & time-consuming to do, but so worth it.
The Pressing Ninja in me is very satisfied...
As for that very 1st block, it will get used as part of a future project.
Part of my motivation to get this quilt finished is that I recently bought the most divine backing for it... seriously it's gorgeous... can't wait to use it!

That's beautiful fabric, and definitely worth taking the time to get right!
So pretty, and your seams look awesome! I iron mine open occasionally, but not often.

At least you are working on it now. I do love the blue and white. An orphan block can always be used.
Lovely project. Coming along nicely.
Such a beautiful project.
Looking great. Open seams are good when there are a lot of them...Will be a lovely quilt.
This is gorgeous! I love the blue and white.
Beautiful quilt and blocks..the ironing Ninja has been busy!! Well worth the effort though, the blocks look wonderful. Well don you for tackling a PFA. Happy Easter.
That is a beautiful tone on tone fabric you have used. I also love the simplicity of 2 colours. Gee, you have done a lot in a short time. Well done.
Beautiful blue and white and the effect is fascinating. xx
Oh my, this is so beautiful, Anthea. I have always loved the combination of white and blue.
Very pretty....I just love 2 color quilts....you could use the 1st block on the back as a label.....
