Several quilters hung our quilts at the local bank during Heritage Days. Yes, you've seen those 2 quilts on the right before (mine), but that Irish Chain was amazing - not mine unfortunately. It's old, all hand stitched and quilted with tiny stitches, and that border was not pieced -- it was appliqued onto the white border. From this distance (photo) the viewer can see slight irregularities in how the little squares lined up, but up close I could barely tell it was not pieced, her applique stitches were so small - it is so well done, with the red squares in all the same place, as are the green. The label said it was made in the 30s. I'm going back for another look-see.
Wow! I made one Irish chain and it's so hard not to make a mistake with the arrangement, esp one as complex as that one. Yours are beautiful too.

That old quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYours are beautiful too, but do look more contemporary.
How neat to hang traditional with contemporary! What a great spot for a display. All are beautiful in their own, unique way!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stop by.... and I so thank you for my McTavishing comment. It was more tedious than I had anticipated...but quite pretty, I am sad that you enlarged it..as I kept running into her applique. But she loved it...and I was very proud...it got me 5 more quilts today! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts all of them!
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely and make a very nice contrast.
