Antique Quilt Makeover- PA Inspiration

I'm busy quilting on my latest quilt reproduction/rescue/makeover, etc. for a national challenge. I was  heavily influenced by the PA German aesthetic and inspired by about half dozen antique quilts in my collection. Above is the completed top (40" x 40").  You can read about all the antique inspirations, block by block on my other blog, http://www.starleyquilts.blogspot.com - see the January and February listings.

Here are the block inspirations:


And here are some of the PA color inspirations
and this gem
Again, see 2012 entries on http://starleyquilts.blogspot.com/  to learn about the above inspirational antique quilts.

  1. It is a beauty, Sandra.
    I love seeing the quilts that inspired your work, too.
