finish it up Friday, week 19

Welcome to finish it up Friday! I hope you are having a productive week!

I have no finish to share, but I did start one of the two quilt tops I was hoping to get finished this week.
I'm starting with this beautiful stack of organic fabric from Birch Fabrics. This is all from the Mod basics line. It is oh-so-lovely! The teal is going to be the background. The lime will be the backing.
Look at those dots! They are so, so good!
I'm making traditional rolling stone blocks. The dark background is a stretch for me. But I'm liking it!
The blocks are about 15". It's fun making bigger blocks! They go together pretty fast. I've got 3 of the 12 done. I'm still hoping to get the entire quilt top done this week....but we shall see! After all, it IS spring break. :)

How about you? Do you have a finish to share? If you do, please link up! Happy Friday to you!

  19. Love the dotted fabrics! And I love the way you paired them with the gorgeous solid teal color to make a very interesting block.

    I'm happy to report I had a very productive week - I finished two velveteen zipper pouches, a ticker tape quilt, and just released my first sewing pattern. And I managed to blog about all of them - Woohoo!

  39. I've been admiring the rolling stone block for a while now too. It kind of reminded me of that Denyse Schmidt pattern from a couple of years ago (Cog? Cog and something?), but waaaay easier and more do-able for me! I love your version - a LOT.

  43. I like the dots fabrics a lot. That's something for my stash as well.
    I also like that you chose a dark background fabric (other than grey for example). I didn't use such a colour yet but I think it's worth a try.
