They are amazing with the hand quilting and colors. There is a red/white one and a smaller version that appears to be a child's quilt, along with another small quilt made from orphan blocks. There's a yellow/red/white one, a wool quilt, and others I haven't really looked at closely yet. Someone told me they thought the fabrics dated them in the 1800's. They are living in my basement in tubs until I figure out what to do with them.

If you'd like to view an exhibit of all red and white quilts, check out the YouTube from the Gold Coast Quilter's Guild in Boca Raton, FL. The Guild was inspired by the exhibit in NYC of a personal collection of red and white quilts and used that inspiration for its 2012 challenge, "Red, White & Beautiful". www.youtube.com/TheGCQGJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365339234397600267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61520949011760497982013-04-23T20:21:03.729-04:002013-04-23T20:21:03.729-04:00Oh!

The grid quilting made me think it wasn't earlier--didn't the earlier quilts usually use double lines spaced about 1/4" apart for a more formal applique quilt? I'm no expert, I've just been following Barbara Brackman for years. I enjoy the "mystery" that surrounds dating quilts. Possibly that "fugitive" green (blue) fabric was from a grandmother's stash. I still use 1980's fabrics in my quilts along with newer fabrics! I was fortunate to buy a shoebox with Nile green 1930's fabric in it and it hasn't faded at all.Judymchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155289055650842847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-73196671119306264762013-04-23T15:25:02.018-04:002013-04-23T15:25:02.018-04:00OK The Poinsettia quilt was haunting me so I pulle...OK The Poinsettia quilt was haunting me so I pulled out the books...this one is Mountain Mist pattern #39. It was designed by Margaret Hayes circa 1930. At that time if you bought a Mountain Mist batting there was a pattern on the wrapper (for you next quilt perhaps?!) The directions were pretty specific on what types of fabrics to use and quilting design directions. The IQSCM in Lincoln acquired the entire collection of Mountain Mist Quilts last year. <br />YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29299819847385221202013-04-23T15:07:19.199-04:002013-04-23T15:07:19.199-04:00POINSETTIA QUILT!!!!!!

I was huge, 100 x 100 inches about. We all ooo-ed and ahhh-ed over it as well, and had no idea about the date for it, too. was done in solids only. I never thought I would see a second one in this life time. BTW, love the Chinese Puzzle, gonna have to try one of those...maybe in blue!

Thanks for sharing! <br /><br />By the way, I was unable to post a comment on your newer post on "Gluten Free" because a TIDE ad popped up over the comment box and could not be closed. I eliminated MSG and Nitrites from my diet to minimize the number and severity of migraines. MSG is also in just about everything and many things in restaurants, so I have to ask. Oscar Mayer and Hormel have all natural uncured bacons and lunchmeats that have no nitites or preservatives. One more thing, I don't have issues with sugar or diet sweeteners, but just prefer to avoid them. So, I use blue agave nectar wherever possible for sweetening drinks, salad dressings and in my baking. I use it because I love it. Not all agave nectars are the same, so I stick with organic blue agave for the best taste. I prefer Himalayan Sea Salt too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82942490094633065542013-04-23T13:19:47.503-04:002013-04-23T13:19:47.503-04:00Love the Poinsettia quilt!

For this you have to go by the style of the quilt and less by the fabrics (though solids were very popular in the 20's when scrappy quilts were out of fashion with the well to do quilters.) If I remember correctly both Marie Webster and Mountain Mist published Poinsettia patterns. Have to do some research to see which one this is...great quilt! It is on my "list."YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-6023751785012920162013-04-23T12:04:07.086-04:002013-04-23T12:04:07.086-04:00I love scrap quilts but red and white two color qu...I love scrap quilts but red and white two color quilts are a secret collecting passion for me.

When done, I am trimming 12 blocks that I finally have done so I can put sashings on them and get a quilt top assembled. I am keeping my progress on this a secret from one of my quilting buddies who is working on it too - I have a sneaky feeling that I am ahead of her ... lol<br />Sue Monseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938599600710679651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19726966585434508432013-04-23T10:48:56.534-04:002013-04-23T10:48:56.534-04:00Altho a true scrap quilter I do love two color qui...Altho a true scrap quilter I do love two color quilts. Could I do one--don't know. Thanks for the mini quilt show. My day is cleaning up my quilts space. Just finished a quilt that I found thru a comment posted on your blog from Liz in Yorkshire, England. Your blog just keeps on giving. (I tried to send a picture but couldn't figure it out).
