My quilt top measures 79"x62".
There's nothing perfect about my piecing but I love the array of fabric.
Here is the original quilt I was inspired by. It is in a small booklet called Patterns Of Time: Quilts of Western New York by Lynn T. Hoffman.
For those of you that thought pieces of my blocks were turned the "wrong" way. The original has no right or wrong, so neither does mine.
This block was a really hard one for me to figure out in Electric Quilt, but one of my readers found the directions on Beth's Quilt Doctor blog. Scroll to the bottom to find Blind Man's Fancy. She has a lot of other freebies too that you may as well look at while you're there. Thanks Beth!!

You should be thrilled...this is gorgeous!!!
This quilt is beautiful! One to cherish after putting in so much work on it!
What a beautiful quilt. LOVE the variety of fabrics and it is so light and happy!
Congratulations!!
Terrific feeling you must have, finally getting that treasure all pieced! It looks wonderful--I could study all those fabrics for hours :)
Your quilt is beautiful. A bit of imperfect piecing adds to the charm! No excuses needed! I am wondering if you have a plan for the quilting. There are probably too many pieces to outline or echo. Would you choose an overall like a fan? I'm really curious.

Amen to all the praise for this quilt! You have done an amazing job replicating the look and feel of the original!
Fab, fab, fabulous!
gorgeous! i've added it to my 'can't die yet' quilt list :)
thanks for sharing!
Well that is one quilt you are never going to get tired of looking at with such variety! Absolutely stunning!
I'm not going to complain about 280 HSTs anymore!
WOW. That is a wonderful quilt. All the fabrics are just so much fun to look at and give the quilt so much interest. I am trying to be braver when mixing fabrics. :)
Whoa! Amazing!!
OMG!!!! A true beauty!!!!
This is really a beautiful quilt, Lori. Great job!!!
What a fantastic quilt? I have been watching your progress and am thrilled to see the finished product! Bravo!
Gorgeous! What a beauty!
I said WOAH out loud and my husband came running back to the sewing room. Ha! I said look at this fabulous quilt. He thought I dropped the iron or something! Things like that happen in our house. It was worth the run honey I said. He agreed! That is a treasure and an heirloom Lori!!
I Love it!!
your fabric choices are perfect!!This is work to be proud of
Thanks for sharing it

Amazing Lori - it turned out just wonderfully! I love all those flying geese. I think I will miss seeing your progress on this quilt :0)
Really beautiful work on this quilt! The fabrics are a wonderful mix! I love it!
Lori, this quilt is FANTASTIC! I just love the pattern and your colors are wonderful. What a gem!
Wonderful quilt top, Lori! Congrats on the finish of a top with rather difficult/time consuming blocks. Turned out very nice!
Stunning, a real classic. That is a lot of HST and Geese. Very nice.
So scrappy and beautiful! What a stash of scraps you must have. I love the randomness of the blocks. The design choices made in an antique quilt that "work". Thanks for sharing!
just had to leave you a comment-that's a fantastic quilt-Congratulations!
Oh my gosh, Lori.....this quilt is magnificent! I love everything about it.....and it's definitely going on the 'must make' list! And I don't know why you are always making negative comments on your piecing.... cuz it's perfect! It's a wonderful quilt.... thanks for sharing it!
That is a beautiful quilt. I really appreciate all the flying geese and 1/2 square triangles. Great job!

You have to feel really wonderful to share this one. It's not a quilt just anyone could do. That is to say - this is some serious work and I honor you for having the strength of character to make such amazing piecework. Proudness!
Love it!!! That is a LOT of flying geese...yikes!
What a masterpiece this top is! Your piecing is very good, as is your fabric selection. Just wonderful, Lori!

Lori, your BMB quilt is stunning! I love the mix of fabrics and colors. Did you use some vintage calicos or are they CW repros?
Gail :)
I fancy your Blind Man's Fancy quilt. Love your fabric choices. I've been admiring this same pattern in a book I recently bought entitled "History Repeated" so that one will go onto my long list of quilts I want to make.
this is terrific ~ you've reproduced it so very well~!!!~

You surely received a lot of comments on this quilt and it is well deserved. A big whoo hoo to you. I have wanted to make this too but have not taken time to do it. Thanks for the link to the block pattern. I think I drew it in EQ at one time but I don't know what I came up with.
