Someday when you are wondering what topic ...Bonnie,<br />Someday when you are wondering what topic to post, (Ha Ha) would you be able to talk a bit about how you identify the different ages of fabric? I would love to know how you can tell the age of the quilt by looking at fabric. Thanks!

Perhaps someone was swindled into buying a flag that was improperly printed and decided since it couldn't be flown that it could be used as scrap fabric?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64109914002125119302019-09-07T08:04:58.591-04:002019-09-07T08:04:58.591-04:00Somehow, I don't think that was an authentic f...Somehow, I don't think that was an authentic flag, simply based on the number of stars in the blue. As Nancy D pointed out, in 1889 there were only 39 states in the Union. Too many stars. But who knows? The blue in the field of stars is very intense, though, compared to the fading of the red in the material! As others had said, wish that the maker had documented it all, but to her, it was probably nothing out of the ordinary. If she only knew that she was making a historical document of the time she was in, and seeing those of us today oohing and aahing over her creation, wondering why she did what she did.Rhonda Albrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405897538803396473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83462469442554177902019-09-07T02:01:12.007-04:002019-09-07T02:01:12.007-04:00Such fascinating and beautiful quilts so interesti...Such fascinating and beautiful quilts so interesting to see the use of colour in the love the scrappy looks on some.

North Dakota was the 39th state, admitted in 1889. Women's voting amendment was in 1920, so in that 30 yr span, things were brewing. You could be right about the silent protest. Maybe the name of the block also makes a statement?? If quilts could only tell the whole story. Wish she would have slipped a note in one of the blocks.Nancy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155474692171483309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-81990493498983438922019-09-06T18:22:24.488-04:002019-09-06T18:22:24.488-04:00Thanks for sharing, we love to see these visits es...Thanks for sharing, we love to see these visits especially us here in Australia our anitques malls don't seen be as exciting as the American ones.

Those quilts are all "Wow!" worthy. It would be hard for me to choose a favorite, though the log cabin with the flag foundation definitely wins for the history and story value.

I do hope (fingers crossed) that the square in a square in a square log cabin entices you to design and create a pattern somewhere in the future! I love to ponder the quilter's use of the flag. I'm more inclined to think that it was in her mending basket and just couldn't mend it one more time. Practicality won out and she cut it up for a foundation for a beautiful quilt.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385598424590019536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35939242933848887302019-09-06T10:17:54.689-04:002019-09-06T10:17:54.689-04:00Loved the quilt tour!
