Antique Quilts

Here are more quilts that I saw at the antique mall. The blocks in this first one appear older than the sashing. I suspect from the feel of it, that there was an older quilt used for batting.

This top really intrigued me! The embroidery was beautifully done.

I’m not really sure I understand some of these blocks though. What is this guy doing?

This one reminded me of a redwork crib quilt I made for my youngest.

It had some of the same blocks!

I wish I had yards of the shirting fabric used in this one!

One more post to come. Have a great day!

    These are so charming! The sashing in the first one looks to be from the 30’s or 40’s –
