Old Quilt From Maine

It's not in great shape but has some wonderful fabric and an interesting "batting". 

Lovely madder. 

Be still my heart.

An interesting Japanese lantern?

I squealed when I saw this print!

Just this one 4 patch with George Washington print. 

Here is a reproduction of that same print.

 

This backing is so delicate looking. 

It does have some stains. The width of the backing is 35". 

The inside layer, which we would put cotton batting,  is this piece of fabric!

I've never seen that before. The quilt measures82"x77" so that "batting" is that large as well. Anybody heard of that before?

I also did a video but was too long for Etsy so posted it on YouTube. See it HERE

I've listed it on Etsy if anyone is interested in a video or a closer look you can see it HERE. 

Oldie but Goodie Historic Quilt Panel

Look at this gorgeous historic quilt panel i found recently! I used a red one in the past and do not even know if I have seen this blue one in person. Such a rich color. 

Here is the entire panel. It measures approx 17"x21"

After May when our antique block challenge is over, I am considering doing a challenge with a historic panel. There are many of them that have been printed over the years. It doesn't have to be this one. (although I think I'll have more) I'm posting to see if there would be interest. 

Here is a quilt I designed using GW panel for my center. 

This month is going by so fast! So many fun things going on in my world. I hope you all are doing good!

We were finally able to get together with my daughter to celebrate her birthday and Christmas!

If you recall she was down with covid and then as a hairdresser has been playing catch-up with all the appts she had to cancel. And she can now enjoy food! (taste and smelling is essential for that!) 

We are doing a family getaway later this month. So looking forward to that. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
