This quilt was exquisite! Look at that hand quilting!!
This looks like little pebbles.
It isn't very often we see a Mariner's Compass at the "tent" sale.
It took me a bit to realize this is a basket quilt with no handles!
The setting is unusual, as well. There is something quirky and fun about it! Hmmmm, don't know how to applique? Oh well, who needs to put the handles on anyway? hahahaha
The last two quilts I show were not in the quilts for sale booth.
This graphic quilt quilt grabbed my attention from across the street.
It is old and was for sale. Overall it was a lovely quilt.
I can't say that I've ever seen this color combination before. Mourning grays/blacks, shirting prints, chrome yellow, blues, and muslin. I can't decide if I like it or not. What are your thoughts on it?
The basket quilt without the baskets is very cool IMHO. I'm enjoying imaging what sort of stories could be developed about that!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm totally taken with the uniqueness of the last quilt. The color combos encourage the eye to travel almost in a circular fashion and muslin is a perfect setting block for it. Also, the piecing is well done. My mentor once told me she didn't buy antique quilts unless she herself loved them. I can't say I love this one but its unique and that attracts me.
I really love the Ocean Waves though. :) Thanks again for this sharing!!!
Love the last quilt...the polka dot mourning print grabs me! Gray and yellow are a very "modern" combination...interesting. Like Karen though the ocean waves is my fav!
ReplyDeleteI love the striking graphics created by the color combination in the last quilt.
ReplyDeleteAs far as that pink quilt goes for a QAL inspiration, I will give you my 2 cents worth. Does it need to be shrunk down? Just shrink down the sashing or remove it altogether. There are cute little stars in the center and there would be an interesting secondary pattern formed by the other pieces. I think it would be very interesting.
I think your favorite is also my favorite, but for a different reason. I gravitate to the simple, straightforward quilts. Maybe because I know they are within my skill level! : )
My favourite was the Ocean Wave!! I REALLY want to make that one...in those colours...LOVE IT!!! All of the quilts are 'homeward bound' worthy!! What were the prices like??
ReplyDeleteP
You keep showing that Carolina Lily, could it be at your house now? I love it but I can never make all those points work out. Next year I am growing some corn, you will have to share your secret.
ReplyDeleteMore fantastic quilts. There was a basket quilt on ebay recently that was very similar. I thought it was fun because of the missing, or lack of, handles. Great puss in the corner with that double pink sashing, and lacey printed fabric. Personally, I like the combination on the last quilt. Quirky always draws me in.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts! I saw that Ocean Waves quilt at Sister's and told my Sister that our 3rd Great Grandma made one when she was 90 years old with over 1,000 pieces in it. Such tiny hand quilting.
ReplyDeletewhat great quilts! I love to see those that are so different from what we expect to see...no handle baskets, and the colors in the last one are great!! Haven't seen them used before but I love it
ReplyDeleteWow!!! What an amazing display of antique quilts! I too love the Improved 9-Patch in madders. The Ocean Wave is wonderful. The oldest one I know of that is documented is in the Mary and Albert Silber collection, made in 1840, so the story with the one at Sister's could be true. Mine was made in 1863-1864, so the pattern is very old. You're right about the Wild Goose Chase color scheme, very unusual, but I like it a lot. I can see how you'd see it across the street and want a closer look. It sounds like the old joke..."why did the quilter cross the road?"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful parade of quilts. I do like the last quilt because it's very different. Could be a one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these pictures all SO VERY much!! Especially the first 2 and your closeups of the quilting. I like that color combination in the last quilt - I think it's the yellow that makes it work. The one that's just a top is marvelous - so bold! Oh, and I like the soft pink blocks too - I'd be up for a quiltalong with those blocks! Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteI remember looking forward to seeing the antique quilts for sale at Sisters Quilt Show--one of my favorite parts of the day. Thanks for sharing your pics of these beautiful quilts. The blue/grey/chrome wild goose chase quilt is exceptional, but if it was re-done in too modern of a fabric, it would lose it's charm I think.
ReplyDeleteI loved all of them! It would be so hard to make a decision of which to buy.
ReplyDeleteI think the no handled baskets were great colors.
I do like the last quilt. It's interesting how graphic it is from a distance and how almost plain the block is up close. It made me think "I could do that"!
I would like the challenge of making the hexagon quilt. It is unusual. All the quilts are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSeeing quilts like these just makes me want to get into my sewing room! The colors in that last quilt in the group just pop. I really like it that those quilters all made bold color choices.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick a favorite....they are all so fabulous! And I love that baskets one with no handles! Fun! The last quilt is really gorgeous; the colors together are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, I especially like the peony!
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of everything. LOL ,Always wanted a peony or carolina Lily quilt.
ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous quilts for sale thier Lori.
I quite like the last one even though a strange colour combination, maybe made for a man perhaps!
Lots of great quilts and inspiration. I do like the gray and blue with white, nice combination.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love the inspiration of the antique quilts. I've always wanted to make a Carolina Lily. The quilting on it is fantastic. That one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt with the grays, blues, chrome, shirtings, etc. looks like it could have been for a man or boy. More to the masculine side.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I like the blue, gray and yellow quilt. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteWere we at the same booth? I don't even remember seeing half those quilts!! VBG. Next year, Friday afternoon stop in the antique booth is a MUST. Don't you think?? Imagine what we'd find if we had first dibs???
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little quilt show! Thank you! I love the last quilt. I am seeing gray used with yellow in a lot of decorating and fashion pins on Pinterest. The combination works in quilts, too! Thanks gain!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are gorgeous!! I for one would Never get bored looking at quilt photos......keep 'em coming! Just love the one with mourning grey/yellow/blue - great combination. Have just pinned it! Keep having fun. x
ReplyDeleteGray, black, yellow, blue and muslin....LOVE IT!! mdmontalvo@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI am zooming right to the Ocean Waves. It has been on my list for ages. I was to-ing and fro-ing about a 2 colour quilt but the antique one is just fabulously scrappy. Decisions ... :p Can you recall the size of the HSTs?
ReplyDeletebeautiful each and every one of them....thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteLOVE that ocean wave quilt just soft simple appeal to me....
gorgeous stuff!!
ReplyDeleteHey Lori - Thanks for sharing the antique quilts! Scrumptious eye candy.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual color combo but I really like it! Thanks for providing my little quilt show this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love the last quilt. It is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLast quilt is gorgeous - could there be any doubt Lori? Love all these different colour combinations - it challenges our modern sense of taste in a good way!
ReplyDeleteI looked at this post several times - lovely quilts! I do like the last one - those indigo flying geese so striking against the not-so-matchy-matchy neutrals.
ReplyDeletehave finally found some time to enjoy some of your recent posts and as asways it's been a treat.
ReplyDeletelove that pink and white quilt~!
and the ocean waves~!
