Stars 3

 


Hello stargazers! 
If you are back you must like star quilts!

Today I'm featuring a quilt top circa 1940.
I should really finish this one but haven't thought about it for a while.


Another quilt top is from a century earlier.  This top features madder fabrics (the rusty brick colored fabrics).



One of my favorite pieces is this one from circa 1840. 

This is a HEAVY quilt.  The more quilting on a piece the warmer and heavier it becomes.  


One of my friends is always telling me I should hang my quilts up in my house.  Unfortunately, we have plaster walls and I just don't want to put any more holes in the walls.  This is the one she always said I should have up this time of year:



I'll be back next week with some Christmas quilts!

Have a safe and happy weekend!

    That pink/yellow/green is such a classic combo! I would love to hang quilts on the bare wall in the stairwell to the basement, but it would be nearly impossible to access. So I lay my quilts over the stair railing and the back of the sofa in the family room. Makes it easier to change with the seasons. I do have two "panel" quilts that I hang with the seasons in the formal living room (that we rarely use)

    The first quilt is delicious! Deserves to be finished, used and enjoyed.
