    Here is a picture of an interesting quilt that I found at an auction. A log cabin variation? I love the colors!

    What a neat tie job. The fabrics look like 40's or 50's. This is a great quilt.

    I have no antiques to share, but am enjoying seeing others. Here's to hoping we get to see many more. I love the old patterns and color combinations.

    This was made by a neighbor of my grandmother's. The woman offered to make my grandmother a quilt and one for herself if my grandmother would supply the fabric.

    I don't know what year it was made but it looks like 30's fabrics. It's hand pieced and hand quilted.

    I've made a similar one by hand--it is the favorite one I've made. The background fabric is a soft green that reminds me of spring grass.

    My father gave me these quilts. They were in a trunk of my maternal grandmother's. I'm not sure if her sister or mother made them.
