Here are 25 blocks and 3 borders from Beyond the Cherry Tree!! Gay at
Sentimental Stitches has recreated this quilt from an antique that she purchased and is very worn. The blocks finish at 16" and I believe the borders are about 8". So it will be about 100" square.
The original maker had one block sideways and I couldn't resist putting mine that way as well. The center block, with hundreds of grapes, is signed with my name.
The original maker added the borders log cabin style and I kept to the original. I love it. When it was long enough, she cut it off!! I will be adding a few more leaves and berries to the corner so it isn't quite as bare.
I've always loved old quilts with funky borders and this one is no different. I love it!!
On another note: Are you turning 50 this year? Barb wrote about her
Jubilee Quilt and Regan,
Floating on a Quilted Cloud and myself talked about doing a Jubilee Quilt as well. I talked to Barb and she didn't mind at all that we were copying her idea.
I had no idea jubilee had its reference from the Bible
Leviticus 25:10
Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you.
So, we are making our 50th year a jubilee!! Anybody want to join in? I have an idea for a project, but haven't worked out a pattern or the details yet.
Let's rejoice that we are turning 50 this year!!!!
Stunning!!!! No words...stunning!
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilt you have really made a lovely job of that one.
ReplyDeleteAs for making a Jubillee quilt- just a tad to late for me I fear. Lol.
Your quilt is beautiful! Love the idea of a jubilee quilt. I did a quilt with 49 blocks the year I was turning 49. enJOY!
ReplyDeleteGoodness girl...you must never sleep!!! Wonderful, just wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI did a quilt when I turned 65 (Medicare age!) - should have done one earlier too :o)
Sending happy stitching thoughts for the final border from another Cherry Tree quilt fan.
Great job. You have inspired me to get back to mine.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a little too late for me and the Jubilee quilt unless I do a turning 70. LOL!
This is absolutely gorgeous work Lori, congratulations ! I love it, it is light and airy and elegant. Love the funky touches too, it adds so much personality.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so beautiful! and sweet! It honors the original quilter too.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea for the Jubilee Quilt...I'm missing it by a decade as I'm turning 60 (!) this year.
Have a grand year!
Great idea and beautiful quilt! Can a person join even if they are way past 50?
ReplyDeleteWOW!, I'm ticking along with mine, started my 18th block last night! I AM going to finish this top this year. Too many projects in the works to take on another one, but I'm also turning 50 this year.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll this jubilee talk has me interested. I didn't know about the biblical reference. If I start one before I turn 51 next month will it count? lol
Your quilt is beautiful. I'm past my Jubillee but would love to join in. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love it - its just perfect!
ReplyDeleteOMG it is just beautiful
ReplyDeleteyou should be so proud of yourself for keeping up with this
its going to be an heirloom quilt for sure.

The quilt is fantastic. I loved the first block I saw on your blog and I have loved every block since then.
ReplyDeleteI am way over the Jubilee age, but I look forward to seeing what you are going to do to celebrate the big 5 0. :)
I am beyond 50 so no Jubilee quilt for me. But I will celebrate yours.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have studied the Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt. Which block is turned sideways? I can't figure it out. I must be missing something. Regardless, your quilt is wonderful, wonderful!
Too late for me too Lori! But have fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt with it's quirks! Utterly charming!
Your quilt is beautiful!! I had been planning to make one, but my son "fixed" my computer and lost the first group of blocks, so I guess it's on to other projects--though yours makes me question that decision! So lovely! Hope you have a great Jubilee!!
ReplyDeleteJubilation for sure!!! no wonder you get so much done, your still just a youngster! i would love to see what you come up with, i could share in the joy but on the very close side to sixty....
ReplyDeleteWow Lori...I am impressed. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Lori! What a joy to create something so special with your hands!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a Jubilee quilt, but alas, that milestone is barely in the rear-view mirror. I will enjoy watching everyone's creations though!
O...M...G, Lori! Beautiful! It's going to be a while before I have three borders on mine. I'll bet you've really enjoyed doing this. It's nice to see the quilt with someone holding it up. I had to stand on a chair and that totally messes up the perspective.
ReplyDeleteI'm past 50 but I could do one when I turn 75. That gives me a nice long time to plan it!
Barb's jubilee project got me thinkin' too...I only have until April 26 to get one done (51! eek) Can we say hurry?! lol
ReplyDeleteGorgeous BTCT. Really beautiful!
Breathtaking is the quilt. I admire those applique quilts so much and you , who makes them.
ReplyDeleteNever herad of a jubilee quilt before, but it is too late for me as I am turning 52 this summer.
It is beautiful! Great idea for celebrating your 50 year, I think you should celebrate all year long.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lori, it is divine. Just the right colors. Made so beautifully. This is a treasure, too, along with your others!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Wonderful! Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awe inspiring quilt! I love that you put a block in sideways like the original.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome quilter!! Love your quilt...quirky and so much fun. I am 50 in two years...I would love to join in...it will be here in a flash!!
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome quilt!!!! Wonderful work! And, no, I turned 50 quite a few years ago. Hee Hee! I like the idea of making a special quilt to commemorate the year, though. Maybe I will do a special quilt when I reach a certain age in a year and a half. I will think about it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one gorgeous quilt. I have admired this quilt every time I see it on Sentimental Stitches site. Yours will be a real heirloom for sure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Lori!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've kept to the original - so did I. Not as far as you so thanks to you and Mary for the motivation.

ReplyDeleteI love how your Beyond The Cherry Tree has turned out - just beautiful. I have kept up with printing out the patterns but have not started on the quilt itself. Perhaps this could be my Jubilee quilt? Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Another gorgeous quilt! Great colors
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! You did a fabulous job. Yes! this is my #50 year too - but not until Fall. Love the idea of a jubilee quilt and I would be interested in joining in on your celebration!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Im breathless!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I can't believe you did this quilt AND a Dear Jane!
ReplyDeleteRecreating that antique quilt was such a great idea -- I'm sure the original maker would be so pleased that other quilters were inspired by her work.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful, and I love that you kept the the details of the original design. First the Dear Jane and now this -- I am blown away. Here's an idea. . . work day and night to finish this quilt before Sisters so I can see it :)
Congrats on turning 50 this year -- I wish I were turning 50 instead of 65. Maybe I will make a quilt celebrating Medicare.
You have GOT to be quilting in your sleep, Lori. So many quilts. This is a stunner and joins all your other projects, those finished and those nearing a finish. Wadda gal!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking quite stunning! A lot of work! I love that you have emulated the quirky aspects in your quilt as well!!!
ReplyDeleteA jubilee quilt sounds a great idea, I wish had know about that a little while back LOL!!!!
Lori, I LOVE this quilt! It's absolutely beautiful. I'm turning 50 in March! I think a jubilee quilt is a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Lori! I'm speechless! It's spectacular. I haven't even started mine yet. I changed my fabric scheme, so I need to get that gathered up again.
ReplyDeleteIt's splendiferous! Just love it in all its wonky glory.....wouldn't you like to know more about the maker?! Good job on all those berries.
ReplyDeleteI agree..this is our Golden Jubilee Year! It's nice turning 50 with a CROWD, you know? It's more fun this way!
Bonnie
Well done Lori :-) what an achievement! I love everything about it especially the wonky borders and corners.
ReplyDeleteThe Jubilee quilt sounds great have fun with that.
Your quilt is so beautiful, had to look, but I found the block that is turned. Makes it more authentic. Will you hand quilt this one?
ReplyDeleteSpectacular. It is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, stunning is just one of many words I would use to describe this beautiful quilt! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh! You never cease to amaze me with all these beautiful quilts. I am so green with envy! And what an absolute grand quilt for a Jubilee year! Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteYour accomplishments so far this are totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! Wow, your skill is superb! Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, whoa! Amazing. I already beat you to 50 last November so I guess my jubilee has begun :) And there were 49 comments when I clicked on the Add comment button!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Oh Lori it's wonderful!! The borders are lovely. You are nearly finished - what a beautiful job you have done with this pattern. I love the idea of a Jubilee quilt. I can't wait to see what you create for that!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I love it!! And is your Jubilee only for youngsters 50?? What about those of us who already saw 50?? VBG
ReplyDeleteLove your version so much, and even more so that you left the quirks in - they add such whimsy! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely stunning quilt top~!!!~
ReplyDeletei actually am anticipating turning 50 in a whole new way now~!!~ but alas, it will be a couple more years . . .
:-)

BTCT is a stunner! You amaze me! After Dear Jane and this, what next? I took it as a challenge to find the sideways block and I think I finally found it. Not obvious. I love that you stuck to the original!
ReplyDeleteHappy jubilee year! I was actually familiar with this Bible teaching, but never thought to make a jubilee quilt when I turned 50 a few years back. I'll be interested to see your project in celebration of this milestone.
OHHHHHH It's wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also turning 50 this year, and love the idea of a jubilee quilt. I had originally planned to have friends make me a crow's foot block, and put together a quilt with them to celebrate my 50th.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing what you plan to do, maybe I will adjust the crows foot idea, and work along with you and the 1962 girls. I love the scripture, thanks for posting it. Lisa

How fabulous is this! You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteWish I had thought of the jubilee quilt idea but now I'd have to do a "jubilee in memoriam" quilt. I like Juliann's idea, too.
Dynamite quilt! I love the variances also. What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThat it absolutely awesome. I wish I could do those as well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lori, your BTCT is gorgeous. I have just started mine this month. Happy 50 year to you.
ReplyDeleteI turned 50 on the 6th of Jan. Making a Jubillee quilt sounds like a fun thing to do. Gotta think about this some more.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!
I love the idea of a Jubilee quilt too! I should start one right now in order to finish in couple of years and put the date when I finish in my 50th year;)
Your quilt is asolutely GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteOh I would have LOVED making a jubilee quilt for me, myself, mwa!
Unfortunately... I celebrated my 60th birthday last month, so I think it'a bit too late ? Or not ??? ;>)
XOXOXOXOXO

Oh, Lori, this is just amazing and beautiful, and lots more adjectives. All I managed to do was save most of the block instructions!
ReplyDeleteThere are two sets of 50 blocks that were gifted to me when I hit my jubilee (love that you are using that term!) That was three years ago, and I think I will join you in finishing at least one of them!
Simply stunning quilt!!! I'm a 50 this year girl (in fact in 3 weeks!) so I'd be interested in what you have in mind. Jubilee! Thanks for making it not so scary turning 50!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Lori!!
ReplyDeleteLori, you quilt is magnificent - absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm glad that you love it. You should also be very proud!!!
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is absolutely STUNNING! It is one of the nicest ones that I have seen. Okay...which block is sideways? Are you going to hand quilt it with the quilting designs on the original?
Found the side ways one! How cute...
