    For those who missed my first posting...I only quilted this quilt. Someone else pieced it. She hand appliqued the appliqued blocks and the borders. I have absolutely fallen in love with the 1930's prints and colors after doing this quilt! I send it back to her on Monday. A piece of my heart goes with it.

    I have no idea how long it took Mrs. Joy to piece it. It took me a little over 2 months to quilt it. I have a big floor frame that I can stretch it out completely in and sit up to it to quilt. So I don't have to take time to baste or keep moving it in a hoop. It's right in the great room, so I can sit and quilt anytime I have a few minutes. It's my therapy!!!

    Martha it's stunning! Your quilting is absolutely gorgeous. And, Mrs Joy did spectacular work with the appliqué and piecing. I am so enthralled I ordered the pattern....a Christmas present to myself! Guess I better expand my little 30’s collection of fabrics. Hope I can find a good sale. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful quilt.

    This is so pretty, reminds me of the quilts my Mom made. She used what ever fabric she had available. Then it was recycle before
    the world knew what the word was. They lasted years, sure miss her.
