I'm having such fun sharing these treasures. Glad you are enjoying them! Thank you for your comments- keep them coming. It makes it much more fun.
Today's quilt is a formal Peony or Lily quilt made informal with the folky, free-form placement of the stems and leaves.
I love how the top one is quite folky while the 2nd one is much more calm and linear.
The full quilt. It is quite large and again seems so formal until you zoom in on the details. It is actually quite charming.
A graphic red & green lily or peony quilt that is hand pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted, with early fabrics dating from 1830-1850. This quilt is from the pre- civil war era.It features a sampler of quilting motifs including sunflowers.
And maple leaves.
And one more fun little flower.
Another amazing quilt! One reason I love quilts so much is that they can last so long, as evidenced by this quilt with fabric that may be almost 200 years old.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this ongoing quilt show. Because of the time difference I can't tune in to the upcoming AQSG roundtable, so, this is a treat.
ReplyDeleteLove this, hope to make at least one of these blocks, someday.
