This one really blew my socks off!!
Was that the only side that would show? Did she run out of fabric? Or was she just done!? We can only guess.
I'm always fond of indigo antique quilts.

Wow!!! I love the first one!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
WOW! Just beautiful! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour eyes see the most amazing things. I guess I need to leave home more often. Or I'm just hanging out with the wrong set of people.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I've got to get out my quilts and photograph them. I have a red and white coverlet too that I just remmebered... Thanks for sharing! I'm going to get them now! :) I have to or another week will go by.
ReplyDeleteLove the two coverlets.
ReplyDeleteNeat to see the indigo leaf quilt. I made the same pattern last summer for a summer quilt out of scraps and used light yellow-green to set it in. It was from a vintage book. I like the blue version too.
I would mortgage my house for those coverlets. I have a blue/cream one that I won at an auction a few years back and it's one of my favorite possessions. I use it in the winter and it is so heavy and warm. The only downside...it's not signed and dated.
ReplyDeleteLove the Carolina Lily quilt. The Rockefeller Folk Art Museum in Williamsburg has some amazing coverlets. Love the blue one from NY
ReplyDeleteBeautiful weaving! I've never seen a real coverlet in person..you are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if the quilt with one border could talk and tell it's story?
I love the indigo quilt too! :)
Oh, I love these! The lily with the 9 patch; I've not seen that block used with another block before, and it's great! The ivy block with indigo is another wonderful quilt. I'm with you, textiles are fabulous!
ReplyDeletei love coverlets too
ReplyDeleteI wish we saw more quilts made that are inspired by antique coverlets.
Same as bed rugs I have seen a few quilts made inspired by bed rugs would love to see more.

After watching the weaving demonstration this past weekend and Greenfield Village, I have a whole new appreciation for the coverlets. Boggles the mind to think how they figured out how to make those.
ReplyDeleteThe coverlets are amazing. I want to learn more about how they are made. Does anyone even make them anymore? Really enjoy your bed turning photos - thanks so much for sharing them! Hope to get to the Sisters quilt show in 2011. Last time we went was 2001.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post but glad I found it. The coverlets are fantastic to see.
