more favorite Lucy Boston POTC - blocks and fabrics

Happy October!!
I've been working on the addition 
of row SEVEN to my Lucy Boston quilt!!

And this row has More of my favorite blocks!!

I don't know how each row can have more of my favorites, 
but it does.  :)
Maybe it's because I love so much the fabrics that I'm using.
Maybe it's because of how the fussy-cutting changes the look of the fabrics.
Or, maybe it's how the fabric colors compliment each other and draw your eye to explore each block.
Anyway, I thought I'd share a couple more of my FAVORITE
Patchwork of the Crosses blocks and the fabrics that I used...

The pink fabric on top is Marcus Fabrics, by Judy Rothermel, the middle green piece is also Marcus (by Rothermel I think), and the bottom dark green stripe is an Andover, by Jo Morton.

In the above picture, as these were quarter yard fabric cuts, I don't have much in the way of info on the line or manufacturer.   Only the word "Divers" on one, and Pattern #606 on the other... BUT, I did write on the selvedge (at time of purchase) that it was Newcastle Fabrics, Divers 1863.  Later, I searched online and found that these were by Margo Krager, from the fall of 2011.  The line had not only these gorgeous peach and madder reds, with a little brown in it too, but also from the same line of fabric was this fabric:

the lovely purple with red medallion that I used to make this block:

a block with all one fabric, from the last row I added in August.


So you see, with those great fabrics to fussy-cut, 
how can I not add more to my favorite blocks list???

Back in a few with the row addition!
My thanks to everyone for the compliments and for sharing your Lucy blocks with me!
I just love, love, love seeing all the different looks this block can have!
Also, I have a story to share soon about my friend (Mary Jo), her Lucy quilt, and their trip to England to visit family!!

Happy Stitching!

  1. These blocks are amazing! Great job. I will look at my stash in a new way and maybe, just maybe, go for fussy cutting some of it!
