Here is the other quilt purchased with the whig rose quilt shown below. Right now I am recreating one block in a smaller scale for a project with fellow AQS certified quilt appraiser Pam Weeks. Duplicating old quilts does help one feel a kinship with earlier quilters. I can now really appreciate the amount of time it took to quilt an entire quilt with the 3/8 to 1/2" diagonal quilting this quilter did on this quilt as it is a lot of work on just a 9 inch block. It is hand appliqued and hand quilted, circa 1860.

like change. Of course, this
translates into my quilting life as well. ...

This quilt is just beautiful-I love the attention to detail as in the little setting squares!
ReplyDeleteThe Whig Rose is also wonderful and you're so right-very folky feeling...makes me want to make one.
