| Antique 1850 Rose of Sharon Applique Quilt |
The border is over the top with all the different flowers -irises, tulips, etc. I really like how the 3 stemmed flower groups have been stitched to make them into a basket. And the two different birds are delightful and the red birds really seem to be enjoying the blue berries or grapes. They do look delicious. There are a lot of embroidered details (stitching on appliques, etc.)--so much to take in. Enjoy-I sure am. Please click on the photos to see more details.
If you have seen a similar quilt, please let me know as I haven't found anything close and neither has the dealer.

Sandra, This is wonderful. I love it, who wouldn't. Now that I know it is ok to put an antique quilt on the festival, next time I will put my English "log cabin" on. It is a great way to share. I like the cheddar too, of course.

Wow. That is an amazing, beautiful quilt quilt. What a treasure.
Your appliqued quilt is absolutely gorgeous! You can feel the love that the quilter stitched in it. It looks like she kept adding more details to it, to extend the time she spent working on it? Maybe she worked on it while a loved one was away for a while, filling the time by taking stitches?
OH MY!!!!!!! I'm swooning...someone bring me the smelling salts!!!!!!
I love that it has a border without it being a border!!!!
