"Lucky" : Copy of an old baby quilt from Japan

When I was in Japan 20 years ago, 

I received a baby quilt from a friend's grandma.

It was used for my son, 

and  later was used for my daughter.

 It had been used a lot and washed many times.

I love it and always want to make a similar one by myself.

Now kids are big enough and I finally have time to finishing the dream.

I drew a EQ8 picture of it, and named it "Lucky"

"Lucky" : Copy of an old baby quilt from Japan

My plan is make 2 blocks a week, and finish it before June.

I tried different methods to make the blocks, 

very interesting blocks~

Block 1:  Basket 

Block 2:  Grandma' Fan

Block 3: Corner Hearts

Block 4: Lily

Pieces From The Past Top finished~

Put the 20 blocks together , how do you think?

I like it~

 Thank you Melva for having this great quilt along ❤️❤️

We had beautiful spring snow on Tuesday in MN,

 and I took the picture on the new snow.

And I have three extra blocks, will use them on other projects.

There is also one block called "Pine Burr" ,

I plan to do the FPP soon.

The fabrics that I used in the blue quilt top were all up-cycled:

one cotton white shirt that my son worn twice for his piano recitals:

one cotton one-piece skirt that my daughter loved but didn't get to wear too often;

one pair of my "big size" maternity pajama ...

Love the name "Pieces From The Past" ,

not only the blocks were from 1930s',

also the fabrics were from "the past",

full of memories. 

Just love it ❤️
