I always enjoy the antique quilts at the show! These were great!

The color is really off on a few of these photos. 

























This is the info on the entire exhibit.

I loved them all!
Maybe the Carpenter's Wheel is a favorite. 

Do you have a favorite?

  2. I am in love with the Albany Lily quilt, probably because I admire applique so much and I'm on an indigo kick lately. I am currently making a pinwheel quilt using that pattern for a memory quilt of my husband's woven shirts. That border on the signature hexi quilt is mind boggling. I love everything about the Carpenter's Wheel, it is a favorite of mine to make as wedding gift. Thanks for sharing the quilts

  3. I love the border with the birds in it. I'm going to have to make a quilt with birds in the border because they always stand out to me. Thanks for sharing.

  7. Oh, I love these vintage quilts. I scrolled through three or four times, trying to choose a favorite, but I kept changing my mind. Too many that I loved, like the first one, the Basket of Chips, and the Carpenter's Wheel, and..., you get the idea.

  8. I love them all. I thought the quilting on the inner border of basket of chips was modern for that time period. All of them are beautiful in their own way. Thanks for sharing.

  14. Inspiring. Thank you! Many are so pristine they look like new copies, imagine surviving so perfectly for hundreds of years. No wonder they are top dollar collectors' quilts.
