First Three Rows of the 1718 Coverlet


I'm having so much fun with the 1718 Coverlet!



The first three rows are sewn together.



I'm sticking with the original colors as much as I can, 
adding a few Dutch repro prints, plus some stripes and dots.  




I'm also simplifying some of the blocks. 
This project is addictive!

    You're making great progress!! Your blocks look wonderful and your fabric formula of dots stripes and following the colours is working perfectly.

    So much fun to look at!!! Did you buy the Dutch repro prints in Amsterdam? (webshop) I don't think you will need a few years to finish this ;)

    So impressive!! It looks great! I bought the book a few months back, but haven't gotten past the contemplative stages yet... not sure if I ever will, but a girl can dream! Looking forward to seeing your beauty progress!
