Aurora Part 2- Antique Quilts

These are some older quilts from the Aurora Quilt Show. Many belong to the historical society and were part of the Aurora Colony. 


This is a cute setting using vintage blocks. 





I can't say I've ever noticed that the applique was pulled into the seam!  I've seen this quilt many times over the years.






 











Here is my rendition I made (2011) after seeing the antique at the quilt show. Fabric hand dyed by former blogger Libby

I love the simple cross hatch quilting on this one. 






I don't recall seeing this one before. It was charming!





The one below was one I had not seen previously (at least I don't recall seeing it)



Stepping back you really see what the maker did to make this a really special quilt

The pieces were tiny!





And these 2 cuties were for sale in the boutique!

    What a lovely selection of vintage quilts! I especially liked the scrappy nine patch.

    Thank you for sharing these, with the close ups I was able to see feathered wreath over the applique on one and many of the rest helped me see quilting OVER the applique in so many different ways. Mom in law made us a quilt top that I started hand quilting many years ago, but kitties playing with the batting hanging out of the hoop made that difficult. It got put away and now we are in a little tin house with another kitty. No room to set up the hoop, but I had pondered hard on how to quilt... around or through the applique. Next time... I will realize I have choices.
