Aurora Quilt Show Revisted

This is the first year in many that I've missed my favorite quilt show in Aurora, Oregon. 

I thought I'd revisit a few antique quilts from the historical society collection. I never get tired of seeing these!

Enjoy

 

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!

Here are a handful of my other favorite quilts from Aurora!

By Carol Wallace

Courtyard lane, Marjorie McCanse

The embroidery was incredible on that quilt! So tiny!

EPP- beautiful! 

maker- Doris Hale

The redwork on this one was so detailed and marvelous. 

Old Aurora Colony, maker Janus Childs

Maker, Sue Gridley (the featured quilter) 

Good use of a panel! I sure notice panel quilts these days!

They have a little "quilt store" that the proceeds go to help support the Colony Museum. 

This quilt was outside- It was overpriced but so big, chunky and graphic!

Here is another one that was for sale. You could do a real fabric study on this one!

Thanks for coming along with me!
