This quilt belongs to the museum and I never get tired of seeing it!
Several of the colony quilts have this style of quilting.
This was the quilting in the brown border.
Check out the humble seven sisters quilt! You can see it in the photo above as well.
It was one of my favorites of the vintage quilts.
Thank you all for your kind words about the Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt!! You encourage me to keep pluggin' along on it.
I've seen so many lovely variations of Sajou!! Thank you all for sewing along. Wednesday will be the final clue.
Make it a fantastic week!
Gorgeous quilts! When is the quilt show held every year?
ReplyDeleteIt is always in October for about 10 days. I went on opening day this year. The quilt show runs through the 21st.
DeleteNow that is my kind of quilt show! wow so much inspiration!!! Love the bow tie and the simple star so so much.
ReplyDeletethanks lori!
Looks like a lovely way to finish up your weekend. So many great quilts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! I love seeing beautiful old quilts....there's nothing like poison green, double pink and madder browns to make my day! Thank you for the smiles!
ReplyDeleteThe blue and cheddar quilt.....simple in design but I am drawn to it because of the color combo.
ReplyDeleteAll the quilts are simply stunning !! And the fabrics are awesome !!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing !
Such beautiful quilts, and they are enhanced by the location. I believe our guild needs to find a more interesting location for our bi-annual quilt show after seeing this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt show and such a lovely place to have it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that I popped in to visit.

I love that you always attend this quilt show and share your pictures with us. So many wonderful quilts!! I love all the star quilts :0) That scrappy 7 sisters is marvellous! It is such a lovely setting for vintage and antique quilts.
ReplyDeleteI was able to visit the museum several years ago and the staff were so helpful. Jane Kirkpatrick’s “Change and Cherish” series is about Emma Giesy and the Aurora Colony. Jane also wrote a non-fiction book “Aurora.”
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts--i especially love the flying Geese columns--i am a sucker for that type of reddish print fabric...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI so miss having the opportunity to see this fabulous show every year, thank you so much for taking lots of photos to share! That first quilt is the one that stole my heart.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Aurora Colony story and history! And I LOVE that you share the quilt show! Someday I hope to make it there to see it in person!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the SAL! By you suggestion, I’m doing mine in cheddar and indigo! Looking forward to the final part. Do you plan a link party?
Blessings and hugs!
Such charming quilts. Sometimes I think we make ours a little too complicated.:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts, so authentic and real. Just what I love. My fave is the 9-Patch Churn Dash. I'm putting that one in my someday file.

ReplyDeleteJust WOW! I love the old quilts! Thank you so much for sharing with us! Inspiration! My goal is to make me a bunch of heirlooms, since I did not inherit very many.
