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.

It is a beauty, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the quilts that inspired your work, too.
I'm assuming the quilts in the challenge will be judged. If so, I hope you let us know how this one does.
A lovely quilt.

I'm off to look at your other blog. :)
Another beautiful creation - well done!
