It is definitely on my list.

Could the 60's mixed in quilt been one that was finished by a relative from a stack of older blocks? I saw a Hearts and Gizzards in there. I know it's called by another name. I forget what that was.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8841670660279723532016-05-31T12:24:52.315-04:002016-05-31T12:24:52.315-04:00Quilter's Newsletter has an article in the lat...Quilter's Newsletter has an article in the latest issue about "southern Scrap Quilts" by Pepper Cory. She mentions the use of one quilt inside another as batting just as your post shows. I'll never be a vintage quilt collector but love seeing all the ones you show us for inspiration. <br />karenfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437970282462621781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-66878714469797299732016-05-31T10:12:28.448-04:002016-05-31T10:12:28.448-04:00I love the old quilts that show that they "ju...I love the old quilts that show that they "just made do". Using up every scrap of precious fabric they owned or could share. That is what drew me to quilting in the beginning. My first experience with making a quilt, was when my grandmother helped my mom make new "blankets" for my brothers recycled bunk beds. They were narrow, so she used whole cotton yardage (a cowboy print) on top, a striped flannel for backing and recycled "sheet blankets" instead of batting. They were tied with red yarn. They lasted well past my brother's HS graduations. grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88966408942141511062016-05-31T05:46:39.232-04:002016-05-31T05:46:39.232-04:00I 💖 that ugly quilt, and someone else did too, f...I 💖 that ugly quilt, and someone else did too, for years. starflash quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172476133621073389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-17431593916645583672016-05-30T20:32:02.488-04:002016-05-30T20:32:02.488-04:00That was the motherlode of quilt fun.

The use of MUSLIN, feedsack etc. makes them homey. Since they were most often hand quilted, the quilters were not afraid of OPEN SPACES. At times, the less complicated quilts are more real and beautiful.<br /><br />THANKS for the time travel :). Have a super Memorial Day -- when we honor our own.<br /><br />Smilies<br />JulieinTNAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622397925157647174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54117035099470576792016-05-30T14:25:44.755-04:002016-05-30T14:25:44.755-04:00A grand collection of old quilts.
