MY little quilt I just made to be used during the month of March! I like making little quilts to decorate my home. I decided to try and make a few for different holidays and keep with the 2 color quilt theme. This one will be great to use in March for St. Patrick's Day! and of course can be used at Christmas time too! Actually this one maybe used all year round but see how I can be holiday festive without having to use themed fabric sometimes.

I had to order more of the Primitive Gathering Muslin, these look so good with reproduction fabrics, it gives the quilt instant age in my opinion. I bought my two favorite colors pie crust and time worn. ( I think I may need to order a few yards of the paper bag color too) I sure hope Moda keeps this line available for years to come.
Did you see that Primitive Gatherings is doing a shirting line??? Now you know how much I LOVE shirtings! From the preview picture on Lisa's blog I am THRILLED! a darker shirting line I can not wait to see this line in person and of course start using it in a quilt, I already have plans!

The blocks are 3" finished
the quilt is 14 1/2" square
If you make one I would love to see it!
so do you like my new blog header picture???? Thanks Lucy for all your help with my new look for my blog.

As soon as I saw this one I thought of St Patricks day, it's a great wee mini. I love the header, it does represent your tastes.

liz said...

Love the new header, but I am glad you left the calendar picture in the mix.

Impressed with your tiny little T-blocks.

Barbara J said...

There's something about these little quilts that just says 'What are you waiting for ... make me!' LOL!! Yours is gorgeous.

I'll pretend to look the other way for now at least as I am trying out your Courthouse Steps block and found it pretty wonky.

To think I did not even use steam ... sigh ... Just the finger presser and I got 4" on one side (the side that I just sewed on) and 4 1/8" on the other. Must be doing something really wrong!

A Plain Path said...

I need to make some little quilts for my house. This is lovely!

Miriam said...

I'm off to look at those shirtings! Thank you for the link.

Ohh this is exceptional in my book as I love this block!!! It makes me happy, happy, happy. I'm with you on the shirtings as well. Thanks for the "heads up" as a girl can NEVER have enough shirtings. That's my motto. Just never. And yes... Thanks to Lucy. Your blog looks beautiful. :)

teresa said...

Kathie ~ I love your new blog header! And the 'T' quilt ~ I think I will put that on my list

Lucy said...

Your welcome Kathie. What an adorable mini. I think I have to order this muslin too. It looks very interesting.

Mary Lou Casada said...

The new header is fabulous!! And I especially like that Roseville Album block in it!! -- Still the coolest thing ever to see that done in repros! You are a genius! but of course, we knew that. :-D Love all the two-colors you are whipping out! Got a teal/white tree of life I need to get quilting on. Someday! :-) Got a bunch of planned little quilts to work on, too! As usual, you inspire!
Blessings,
Mary Lou

Barb said...

Now that is a small block...but what a wonderful quilt!

Joanne said...

Great little quilt - a fun way to decorate for each month.
I love the new header picture.♥

Dixie said...

What a sweet quilt you have made for St. Patrick's Day (or Christmas). The fabric you chose reminds me of little Shamrocks! Your header is eclectic and such a nice collection of your wonderful quilts. Will have to check out those muslins - love the ecology cloth that you mentioned last year - it has the best firm feel to it!

Me and My Stitches said...

I love your new header - the quilts are all beautiful. Also love your new little 2 color quilt. I bought some of all of Lisa's new muslins, but haven't used them yet. They are so yummy!

sewprimitive karen said...

Kathie, the header is very pretty!

SarahVee said...

Your new header is gorgeous! It made me smile when I clicked into your blog from the reader.
The little T quilt is great. I have 'plans' to make a T quilt too, but a big one:) I am really going to have to make a 2 colour quilt after seeing all of your lovelies.

Crispy said...

Your new header is wonderful!! I just love all your little quilts, very inspiring :0)

The industry must have finally listened to you to put out dark shirtings LOL.

Vicky said...

Fabulous header! Like SarahVee, I smiled big time when I saw it! Love all of your little quilts. You're such an inspiration to all of us! I'll have to pick up a piece of that muslin to compare to what I have here from Marcus. Thanks for the heads-up!

Karen said...

I noticed your new blog header first thing. Looks good.

I like your two color little quilt. I was picturing a brighter green when you mentioned making a green & white quilt for March. I like that you used a darker green.

Cheryl said...

You keep us so inspired with your wonderful little quilts...tempted as well.

Donna in SW PA said...

Great new header! Can't see enough of old or old style quilts. You are an inspiration.

Cathy said...

Love the new header. Your green quilt is adorable. Did you paperpiece it? I've got to make one now. Hugs.

Aunt 'Reen said...

Your little T block quilt turned out darling!
Your new header looks Fabulous!

decafplease said...

i've put myself on a fabric diet, since i seem to have acquired more and used less these past 2.5 years (ugh!). stupid me! i clicked on your link, and immediately thought that the one shade of muslin looked *exactly* like the stuff i've been dyeing. had to order a couple of samples, just to take a closer look. ;o)

thanks, kathie!

What a beautiful header photo. And I love the little quilts. That T-quilt is great.

Lori said...

I love two color quilts and this one is no exception! Love it Kathie!
Your header looks fantastic!

Jayne said...

1. I love the new header.
2. I love the green/muslin wall hanging.
3. I love the idea of having a supply of wall hangings on standby to change out for the holidays.
4. I love that you limit yourself to the 2-color concept.
5. I love that you want to see pics of others' 2-color wall hangings!

Geesh, Kathaie, I think I love everything about this! Happy Quilting!
Jayne

I love your new look! It's wonderful. Really love this green quilt and yes, I love the primitive muslin from Primitive Gatherings. I also am glad to know of the new aged shirtings coming available. Been thinking it's about time!

Pat said...

Kathie, love the little T quilt. I also like the new look of your blog. I usually read on RSS so glad you mentioned it.

Mary said...

Yes, I love your new blog header picture! It was the very first thing I noticed. Which quilt gets the basket block on the top right corner? The green fabric in your new quilt is perfect (!) for a little quilt for the beginning of Spring.

WoolenSails said...

Love the greens in this design. Great prim piece to show off the season.

Oh Kathie, you always make the simplest little block look so good in a little quilt. I love the new header also, I like seeing all of the quilts you have blogged about.
Happy Stitching,

I've ordered all the colors of the PG muslins and can't wait to get them. Can't beat Moda fabrics for a luscious feel!

LOVE the new header - it's look like a little quilt party!
Love your "T" quilt, it's always been a favorite of mine. The green will be great for St. Pats day!

Janet said...

I love your new header - there's so much gorgeous warm color. A lovely sampling of your work. Your little green and white quilt is perfect for St Patrick's day.

Ann's Quilting - Journey said...

Hi Kathie, your new header is lovely. I also have a fat quarter bundle of Primitive Muslins and am mixing them with Blackbird Designs "Antique Fair", making a flower garden. Your mini quilt is gorgeous, you are so very talented. Kind regards, Ann

Merilyn said...

Love your new header Kathie, I want to do something similiar too, but will have to work out how to do it LOL. Your little 'T'-quilt is just lovely, I must say when only two colours are used they look very vintage. Thanks for the links too, I have a little prim muslin but a girl can't have too much, have a great day!!!

Vicki said...

Love your new look - the header montage is wonderful!

Julia said...

I love decorating with little quilts, I move them around a lot. The T block mini was next on my list until I couldn't find mine pattern, it's still driving me crazy not to find it. Love the green for March.
Your new header is fantastic.
