More Vintage Quilts

Here are the quilts Claire purchased this year at Sisters. 

This one has quite a few older fabrics in it. although a quilt is dated from the newest fabric.


This one was great. The zig zag setting is stunning. I like what the maker did at the top to make it a little longer. What's not to love about the fan quilting?
Sarah S made it. Too bad she didn't date it as well.


And this one, which the fabrics seem to say 30's, has a setting that is used in much earlier times. Large 4 block quilts are another favorite of mine.

Even though the top one isn't in great shape, it is a favorite of mine because of the variety of fabrics.

Although I didn't actually sit down at the machine, I got some marking done on a quilt I NEED to finish, so I did get something quilt related  done.

Enjoy your weekend!

    I love the patched-togetherness (technical quilting term) of the top one, too. Most of the vintage pieces I have are like that--every last scrap sewn together to make the pieces the needed size. Some are even just overlapped and stitched with a running stitch--raw edge exposed.
    Oh, the Baptist Fan quilting is wonderful!
    And I love the peachy color in many 30s quilts. So pretty!

    I love the flower piece, that would be fun to do with scraps.

    I would have bought any of these if I had the chance. They're gems! Sad that the Antique quilt sellers won't be at Sister's again.

    Claire always seems to find the best quilts. Don't know how she does it but I always love the ones she picks out. Of course, I love what you got, too. Close ups??

    The quilt in the top photo looks to be a pink and brown quilt but I see other colors in the mix. Interesting seeing the different fabrics.

    I thought for sure the top one was appliquéd. I think the piecing made it much more difficult. The background fabrics were so unique. It's my fave.
