Vintage Quilt Friday

Today I want to share a fun quilt I've had for nearly 20 years. 
It's a bit of a humble quilt, but so sweet!

 Who doesn't love brown and pink??



Such sweet double pinks! Love that sashing too!!

When I was involved with the Oregon Quilt Documentation they asked us to bring in quilts they could document during slow times during the day. This is one I brought in. 
The fabrics were dated 1876-1900.
You can see the full record HERE. 

Have an amazing weekend!!

    What a fantastic quilt! And, wouldn't I like 10 yards of each of those fabrics! Thanks for adding me to your favorites on your sidebar. I like to scroll through people's favorites. I find a lot of great blogs that way!

    Do you have any history on this quilt block? I am making this block set straight and without triangles!

    Pink and brown, classic and perfect. Such a lovely selection of fabrics too.

    Pink and brown always remind me of ice cream, so of course the perfect combination! Beautiful quilt!

    Looks like the colors of the Candy at Christmas. Pink, Brown and white though.
    Love seeing the close-ups

    Always love close-up peeks at vintage quilts. Enjoy the views of the fabrics and stitching. Thanks for sharing this.

    I have always loved pink and brown. This is a wonderful quilt and would be fun to recreate. I made a mini quilt featuring one block in this design, but do not know the name of the block. Can you enlighten us?

      According to the quilt documentation the block name is Washington's Pavement or Chimney sweep.

    What is it about pink and brown together in a quilt? Just so sweet and charming. Lovely quilt!

    I love it when I see an actual antique fabric that I have seen reproduced and I think the 3rd close up pic has a brown that I either have had or have seen made in more recent times. That is so cool!

    I was thinking earlier today that brown and pink are probably my most favorite quilt color combo.

    I am so smitten by this quilt and this block. I have a long ongoing project and drafted this in 6" size first thing this morning. I love the detail shots you shared--they show some clever fabric switching that is so wonderful to see in antique quilts. LOVE the pink/brown check in the 4th detail photo! Thanks for sharing!
