First, thank you CAROL for hosting this Hop. Time In A Bottle comes with the changing of the clocks that gets us so confused!! Jumping forward or is it jumping back? Our body clocks say GEESH!!! But I'm sure that we will all be inspired to take a little time - a little stitching time.
I chose a patterm by the lovely designer, Pam Bono. She was the first person that I tested patterns for many years ago. Sadly we lost Pam a few years ago, but her patterns are still being used and sought after.
The pattern is called "North and South". The arrow heads are made with the hour glass block while the shafts are simple rail fence blocks.
Of course I had to use my favorite homespuns and flannels with scraps of muslin for the background. Very 'cabin in the woods' look to it.
It has a plaid flannel back, quilter's flannel for the batting and quilted by hand with the 'big stitch'. This is MY quilt and will hang over the banister of the winding stairway.
Be sure to visit and leave a comment to all the HOP Hosts:

What a clever way to do the arrowheads - a great pattern to showcase the hourglass block! Lovely quilt.
The arrows sort of remind me of trees, very nice!
Good morning Sharon. I'm so happy you chose this pattern, and those prints. Honestly I had forgotten all about that pattern, and it is one I have liked for a long time. And using homespuns seems perfect. Thanks a bunch!
Such a homey cozy looking quilt!
That's a clever pattern. Your choice of fabrics is perfect and I love the hand quilting.
Beautiful! The pattern is perfect. You will most certainly enjoy your quilt!
Pam was a treasure that's for sure. Her designs will live on forever though. What a fun woodsy look your hour glasses have. I "LOVE" it. Especially how they look like arrows as well. My list of I want to do's just keeps on growing! LOL!!
Beautiful quilt! I love plaids and homespuns, looks so cozy!
Your quilt is cozy. It's just right for the snowy weather in your area. Thanks for sharing.

A very effective pattern..it looks snuggly and warm.
Beautiful, the the secondary design with the arrow! Great fabrics for this as well!
Your quilt is "very cabin in the woods". Makes me want to get out a box of homespun fabrics that I have and work on them. Wonderful!
This is such a cosy looking quilt well done
This is a wonderful quilt and it looks so soft and cozy. Hopefully your body clock is settling into the time change. Daylight saving time ends here in a couple of weeks, so we'll go in reverse to you.
I really do like this quilt. It looks so warm and cozy. Fabric choices are perfect. I wish I had known Pam Bono So very talented. I would buy this pattern if was available. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely comfy quilt.
It turned out beautiful. Yes, I love the design too.
I love that design! It is really cool - and the colors and fabric just shout cozy!! xx
Beautiful, warm, cozy and classic.
I had forgotten about this pattern. I love your take on it! What a great interpretation of "Time in a Bottle" and time changes, which, hopefully, might soon be a thing of the past!
This pattern is perfect for flannels and plaids. The big stitch quilting makes it oh so cozy. Hopefully this will be the last year of time changes. Fingers crossed.
