Although I have done only 3 quilts and 1 table runner so far (Im still a basic quilter..2 years experience)...Im more interested in either bright crazy colours, OR the other extreme, the used older fabric + recycled and pre-loved fabrics..These already have a history and I love re-using them..thanks the wonderful notes and photos..all the way from Brisbane, MariettaMarietta V Gartnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910904113005677295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85702561113046852962012-05-10T21:46:42.662-04:002012-05-10T21:46:42.662-04:00Hi Bonnie --Thanks for sharing the older quilts. ...Hi Bonnie --Thanks for sharing the older quilts. It just goes to show that no matter how the quilts end it is a master of greatness. I agree with you if a mistake is made so what? Just makes it interesting and mistakes do happen. One thing I wonder about is where do you get all the energy? You have inspired many many quilters. Thank you for the scrappy ideas.

I love seeing old quilts, the wonderful hand quilting and their imperfections. It still amazes me that they are as accurate as they are considering they didn't have the gadgets available today, or wonderful quilt shops to buy their stash at.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48454750769139060022012-05-10T11:22:19.369-04:002012-05-10T11:22:19.369-04:00Did you learn anything about how this collection w...Did you learn anything about how this collection was put together and if the quilts are local New York quilts? This quilt is really interesting even more so with your careful examination and explanations for us.<br />Thanks Bonnie for taking the time to put that together, I know you have a million things going on in your life.<br /><br />Happy Sewing, I hope you are going to be home for Mother's Day :0)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52547664925133508862012-05-10T09:48:07.747-04:002012-05-10T09:48:07.747-04:00Thank You, Bonnie for showing us these wonderful o...Thank You, Bonnie for showing us these wonderful old quilts. I love to see how they did not do the 1/4 in. around those blocks. Just like my Mother did. We have gone a long way.

From the picture I could see that there was the half star on one side of the initials and not on the other...that would bug me too. Maybe she got ready to quilt it and noticed that and just HAD to do something about it, but couldn't figure out any other way to get it in there! :-) Love these...I am really getting interested in the history of quilting and these are so cool. --KatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-58606025805774544022012-05-10T09:33:16.337-04:002012-05-10T09:33:16.337-04:00I just love Ohio Stars...and I have never seen a q...I just love Ohio Stars...and I have never seen a quilt with fringe on the edge.

Or added at a "fix" it time? Hand sewn? or machine? or can you remember? Some how the fringe seems "off".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
