I finished making 120 5"x5" nine-patch blocks, and started playing with the French General charm pack squares for the layout for my French nine-patch quilt. I purchased 5 Moda French General charm packs in total: 2 x La Belle Fleur; 1 x Le Petite Odile; 1 x Château Rouge; 1 x Esprit de Noel. I only used the darker background squares. The nine-patches were made from half-yard pieces from the La Belle Fleur and Chateau Rouge ranges.
I am about half-way with assembling the quilt-top now :)
I also managed to start knitting a cardigan. I chose a simple Kaffe Fassett motive from his Pattern Library book.

Lots of work, but it's going to be a stunning quilt - again! Also your knitting looks great. And you said you are a beginner, or do I not remember that right?
Great quilt... Sole designs are often the prettiest
Your quilt is classically beautiful. Congratulations on an almost finish! Lovely knitting too.
I love your quilt!
What a beautiful quilt! I've always admired the French General fabrics--thanks very much for telling what you used and how much for your quilt. Maybe I'll splurge and buy some, though I don't need another quilt :). I'm always drawn to reds and blues.
