Darlene's Quilt

 Merry Monday, sweet friends. Let's start the week off with a  hip hip hooray for we have a new week to enjoy all the things we love!!! 

My fabrics are pulled  !!! Today I will be working on a darling quilt using reproduction Depression era fabrics. 

  My dear friend Darlene  on IG ( Hi Darlene 😀 ) has been sharing the most gorgeous mini quilts on Monday. Of course I want to copycat all of them. But anywhoo! A  few  Monday's ago she posted two sweet  mini pinwheel quilts . I could not get them out of my mind.  So off to the Quilt Nest I went. 

The Quilt Nest is located in the loft of our garage/barn. Up the steps I went in search for fabric. I had not been in there since early winter because of the cold  ; boy, does it need a good cleaning, but I digress.  Soon I found the fabrics I wanted to play with and I hustled back to the house to sew on the machine there. 

Darlene's blocks were 3 inches- tee tiny and cute as a button. I am working with 2 1/2" strips.  I am not sure how many blocks I will make, but  I can tell you one thing!!!!-  I am going to have a whole lot of fun!!! Thank you Darlene for the constant inspiration and for being such a sweet friend. 

Now onto the plans for the week.
