When you give a quilter something to do, it gets done!

Great work! Lovely quilt!

Thanks so much, kwhite, I'm in love with red & white and have seen this quilt somewhere before, but couldn't put my finger on it. Now I've got to see that movie over the holiday!
Thanks again,
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

I love to look for quilts in old movies, and in movies set in olden periods. Once you start looking, it's amazing how many you see. And recogize the pattern of!

Runaway quilt novel talks about a quilt called birds in the air, it was used as a way to give slaves directions to their next safe house. The pattern is very similar.

Good Golly kwhite. I made a block like this in a quilt guild for someones block of the month and I never saw the quilt completed as I could not leave DH unattended. I love it in the two colors...wonder why it looked like in scraps colors as we had to just make it in two colors..whatever.

Dancinig Needle, You are amazing.
Is this a variation on corn and peas or Lady of the Lake?
I, too love seeing quilts in movies.
I make art quilts and have considered offering to hang in professional offices to show that quilts can be art as well as comfy blankets.
To too Muxh fabric. Good luck in making.
