Good Morning Quilters!
This week I am starting a new project. My friend Joan Brink and I are each starting a pattern called Old Mill Pond, a Vintage Stitches pattern by Heartspun Quilts. Joan had bought a kit of the fabrics and the pattern and when she showed me the project, I bought the pattern to make it also. I am using my stash fabrics, and there are 18 blocks to make. Here is the pattern and my first two blocks:
I decided to use indigos and greens for this one, and am liking it so far. Here is the third block in pieces ready to sew together:
It is a nice break from sewing polka-dot sashing to the Jane Austen project pieces. I am trying to work on the sashing a little bit each day. The slower work on the sashing is very pleasant, now that the quilt room is neat and tidy once again.
Here is another picture of the design wall with the Jane Austen quilt in progress:

These are two very different quilts to be working on, a nice change from each other. Happy piecing!
I really like your Mill Pond blocks. I can see that the sashings would be a bit tedious and needing a break for it.
That will be a gorgeous quilt. And very fun to work together with a friend. A few years ago I worked together with a friend in a different state to make the Farmer's Wife quilt. She chose 2 blocks each week from the book, and we shared photos each week to stay accountable. It was fun and we both finished out quilts.
New projects are always so invigorating, aren't they? The Jane Austen quilt is spectacular and your start on the new one looks great.
What a beautiful new project. That is quite a detailed block - but so great
The JA quilt is spectacular every step of the way but I'm sure you'll be so happy when it's finished! I like blue/green together whether vintage tones or bright and modern.
A tidy work room makes things a lot easier! Happy to be contributing to the party this wekk!
