Parsonsfield Linky Party! from Humble Quilts

Let me introduce you to Parsonsfield Maine in photos.

I had not planned on returning, but decided to make a trip to see my quilts hanging in the New England Quilt Museum and brought my little quilt to Parsonsfield.

PS, I did have to stomp around in snow for some of these photos! haha

Linky at the end..

My little quilt looks perfect on the ladder on my friend, Paula's barn.

Seriously, the low volume quilt is perfect as Parsonsfield.

If you missed the inspiration quilt you can see it HERE.

You can choose to share only the top ...

Parsonsfield Part 4 Finale from Humble Quilts

Here are more pictures of Parsonsfield, Maine when I visited in April 2022. It was the time of the year everything was "low volume" as you can see in my photos.

Here is my dear long time friend Paula who helped me draft the quiltalong when I hit a wall and couldn't figure out how to move forward.

Here is a few photos of the vintage quilt.

It was so "NOT ME" but I really love it a lot!

So, here we go!

Your center, after pressing it, should measure about 16" square. If it doesn't measure that ...

Parsonsfield Part 3 from Humble Quilts

Here is a sneak peak into the quilt name! The above photo was lifted from the internet.

Subtle and low volume. :)

Here are the same photos from the 4 patches.

Now we are cutting squares and half square triangles.

Little bits of red and blue give the quilt a little interest.

If you have a bin with 2 1/2" squares you can likely rummage in there and find what you need.

You'll need eight 2 1/2" squares

For the half square triangles you'll need eight 2 7/8" squares. You'll cut those on the diagonal ...

Parsonsfield Part 2- 4 Patch from Humble Quilts

We will be making cute little 4 patches. You will need 16 total.

I'm giving you some close ups so you can see the fabric.

There is a little blue, a little red, a little tan in the 4 patches.

The upper right even has a tad of a yellow stripe.

When looking close it hardly seems low volume!

You can either strip piece using 1 1/2" strips or dig around in your 1 1/2" square bin and sew them together to make a 4 patch.

I opted to use the same 2 fabrics in my 4 ...

Parsonsfield Quiltalong Part 1 from Humble Quilts

Happy Friday! Today is the day we start the 2024 quiltalong Parsonsfield!

We are starting slow and easy. Several of you are still waiting for your starter kit to arrive. They should be arriving very soon.

I tried to copy the vintage 1920's quilt, mostly in the direction of my fabric. This has a lot of movement/stripes. Embrace it!

Upper right rectangle/lower left rectangle are the same print. You put it together with whatever pleases you.

C: Cut one 4 1/4" square

Use the quilt for placement of fabrics.

A: (you will need 12 total, but ...

Parsonsfield Humble Quilts Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

Are you ready for this years' sewalong?

This year will be a little different than the past few years. It's not a mystery!

I was inspired by an antique done in "low volume" circa 1920's

I wasn't sure how I was going to like it but I really do!

It has SO many shirtings!

I'm calling it Parsonsfield.

I've put together a little starter pack of 3" strips (12 different ones) to help you add variety to your little quilt. The cost is $6.50 plus shipping.

These range in length from 18-22" but equal ...

Fun on A Friday from Humble Quilts

Here is block 17 of Uptown! I hope to start getting them trimmed and assembled. Nice to have some of that done before the end which is near.

I'm way ahead of the game for our 2023 quiltalong! Just put the final binding stitches in last night.

Hubby and I made it out for a nearby hike with a moderate elevation gain. Love some of the spring weather we are having. Of course now it is supposed to shoot up into the 80's and 90's next week!

I had a good week and am looking forward to ...
