For the birds- Bloggers Quilt Festival

One of my favorite spring (and fall events) is the Bloggers' Quilt Festival run by Amy Ellis of Amy's Creative Side.  It is a great opportunity to see what is happening now in the quilt world.  I'm sharing an antique crib quilt that has captured my heart.  Here's a close up:

And the full quilt
Whig's Defeat c. 1850
36 x 36


Details of other 1850-60 applique quilts

Enjoy, here's the link to see the rest of the virtual quilt show

    Beautiful! The work that went into quilts made in the days when everything was done by hand astounds me.

    Love seeing what those who went before us created! It's always interesting to think what they accomplished so long ago. Makes me love appliqueing even more Thanks for sharing and have a great day

    This is such a beautiful design. I love birds in quilts. I wonder why is it called Whig's Defeat?

    So pretty! I have done some few appliques, but I love to do scrap quilts and hexagon quilts best. May be I should try an applique soon?
