Although I have a few pictures from the quilt from 'huis Doorn' and from a book by An Moonen it is still very difficult to see which fabrics were used. To make it more difficult: lots of the originals were covered in the beginning of 1900. Therefore I decided to choose my own fabrics and colours. I keep an eye on the pictures and when I can, I try to work in the colours or shades of the original.
Lots more fabric came in this week, from a friend. And being washed and dried, on my balcony.
This weekend 'm working on these blocks. Preparing during the day and sewing in the evening , in front of the tv.
I still have a lot of drawing to do. Some very strange blocks too. So more to come soon hopefully.
Also the best thing would be in the near future, if I could see the original from the museum. No news yet about it though. It is still in depot.
Have a nice weekend,
Groetjes
