This little cutie came home with me. It was a small piece that had been cut from an old quilt and then rebound. It measures about 24" X 36" and I thought it would make a great table topper (and it was only $5!!) I do think it is 50's fabric and I always love to give a home to "homeless" treasures!! The only worn block is the red one on the left.
This next quilt was my favorite of everything I saw. I was told it was a Civil War era quilt, and I thought it was wonderful. Of course priced out of my budget, but I love the big fan quilting and the stars are awesome - you know how I love stars!!! I think I might put making one like this on my "bucket list"!! It was very heavy and the quilting was done with dark blue thread.
Happy Fall Ya'll!!!!!

Doniene, that little piece of flower garden quilt is a treasure--at that price who could pass it up?
Beautiful CW era quilt. That is a lot of quilting! If you decide to make one I hope you will let us follow the progress.
I'd have had a hard time passing up the grandmother's flower garden, too. It will make a very sweet table topper. That CW quilt looks pretty special to me. I'm reading Barbara Brackman's Quilts from the Civil War and learned these seven stars represent the first 7 states of the confederacy. You probably already knew that, but it brings new meaning to me. It's a lovely block and I love the double pink and the beautiful fan quilting. Thanks for sharing.
