What's on the line?

I've got another green quilt to share..........

This one is rather interesting. The maker used four lengths of green cotton for the back and front of this quilt. She pieced two lengths that make up the front of the quilt and two for the back. The fan blocks were then appliqued in place. Usually, the fan blocks are made as individual blocks but not in this quilt.  Here's a close-up of one of the blocks.......

Hand-quilting has been done around each of the fans and remains mostly intact. The quilt also had other hand-quilting that criss-crossed the quilt but only remnants of the stitches remain. Some of the blocks are very worn, like this one below...........

This is not one that I will likely repair. Instead, I think it's one to make from new fabrics. Yep, it can go on my "never-ending to-do list". :-)  I have no date for this quilt but would guess that it is from the 1940's based on fabrics and wear.
I have a little swap item to share............

This is the bag I received from swap partner, Heather, in Michele's latest swap over at Quilting Gallery. I love 30's prints so this will make a great bag for toting a 30's project when I'm out and about this summer.

Speaking of "out and about", there's been a bit of that going on here and then some staying home, too. Getting some things done........like a curtain for the basement family room, cleaned a closet, and more. I'll show you one of those "more" projects tomorrow. I had to set aside the project that I was working on with my GO! Baby. Just too many family and summer things that needed my attention. So, when summer rolls around in your neighborhood, what keeps you the busiest? and do you find time to sew in the summer or read blogs, or do you do that more in the fall and winter? Just curious. I have some projects to share but if folks are busy with summer things, I might wait til August before I post some of them.

Have a good Monday!
