Isn't this quilt gorgeous?! It was one of the more fancy quilts at the antique quilts booth at Sisters. I'd love to own it but it was a little out of my budget.


I love the unusual baskets and the super size blocks!!

This was on a different quilt. I thought the applique block on this one was very charming!!

    Lori, thanks for sharing this beauty. I makes me imagine how it came to be designed, what was the quiltmaker like and gosh, what kind of person could make such a beautiful quilt then finish it with cross-hatching. Amazing! I'd want to go back in time and know this person for sure.

    It is truly a beauty. I love its crinkly condition. That adds so much to its character. I'm curious what sort of price tag is attached to such a quality quilt at an audience-packed show like Sisters.

    Precious quilt! Can you just picture some sweet lady piecing and quilting such a treasure? I think it would be an easy project to make your own pattern. You already have such good pictures - if you need help, I would be happy to lend a hand......

    This was my first visit to Sisters. I did not even know I would see any antique quilts. When I saw all the quilts at Ann's booth, I went a little crazy. This quilt went home with me to Arizona. You are welcome to come visit it anytime.

    Red and green applique quilts always grab my attention. The 4 block is gorgeous! A good candidate for a remake?
    The design of the second quilt is so whimsical..did you get a pic of the whole quilt?
    Curiosity has me wondering the asking price too? :)

    That is a fantastic quilt! It is very similar to a pattern available at "Vintage & Vogue" - http://www.shopvintageandvogue.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?cart_id=6423429.25233.s0&product=VR&productid=VR_Pot_of_Flowers&sales=0&lastmenu=submenu-1800.html (or, made into a TinyURL in case that doesn't work - http://tinyurl.com/3dntd6u ).
