Baltimore Album update

Just a quick update: Eighteen and a half blocks done so I thought it was time to see them all together and decide the layout.
Pinned to a sheet for viewing
This might do....just got to fill the holes!

Here's the latest block up closer:
Block 18
I know the petals are uneven and the vase is a bit wonky - but that is how it was on the pattern (and the original). So I resisted "perfecting" ( though I was tempted to meddle) and left the wonkiness there. It is part of the charm of these old quilts and why I am attracted to them.

    I am drooling. I think I like the block in the upper right hand corner best. But there are others a close second.

    I can see how your balancing the blocks with the baskets in the corners, the horseshoe shaped wreaths, diagonal shaped patterns...they're all beautiful.

    Isn't it inspiring to lay out all your blocks when it's been a while. Kind of gives you a boost to carry on. Love it, wonkiness and all!

    Wow your blocks look amazing - lovely to see them all together! The latest block is beautiful. I have a hard time not adjusting the wonky bits too but you're right - they are a big part of why I love old quilts so much :0)

    Beautiful! I think the unevenness and wonkiness of old quilts is charming too. The perfect human touch.:)
