antique quilt blocks

to do :antique blocks from Making A Lather

As I have been cleaning and reorganizing, I have decided it is time to release some of my antique/ vintage quilt pieces into the wild. etsy here I can't believe how hard it is to let them go. I feel I have to recue all the unwanted blocks in the world. The first blocks have some machine piecing, using old indigo blues. I think the machine stitching looks like a treadle stitch.

FQSG Antique Quilt Block Challenge from Nestlings By Robin

The March 2021 issue of

AQ magazine is out and inside

you will find an article by Moi :)

Last year the Florida Quilt

Study Group did an antique

block challenge with very

The first two quilts had been finished and quilted and so I had one left to make. A long time ago, I purchased an old quilt top in a thrift store and I had yet to do anything with it. The top was probably from ...

Well-Loved Ladies QAL: Currants from Nestlings By Robin

http://nestlingsbyrobin.com/lectures--workshops.html

Welcome to Block 1.

The photo above is from the

center of a circa 1860

quilt in my collection.

The quilting is a cross hatch done

in 1/4" grid which gives it a

fabulous look and feel!

My Well-Loved Ladies lecture was

where I wanted to showcase the

variations of designs because

I am fascinated by how designs

have evolved over time.

Most of the time this block

is seen with berries added but

I do like the simplicity of this layout.

This plant was being grown here in

the US during the mid 19th century time

allowing quilters ...
