My friend Laura and her hubby enjoy auctions.
They always finds the BEST DEALS ever.
Check out this beauty. I feel certain that it is of African American origin from Tennessee. Or at least one of our bordering states. It is made from ginghams, chambrays, corduroy, twills, wool tweeds & plaids, florals to mention a few. I was immediately in love with this quilt ~ wonderful soft colors and great graphics.
The backing is a ticking stripe and it is quilted, quite nicely,
in the traditional Baptist Fan pattern.
Although it has been patched here and there, it is none the worse for wear, considering that it must have been a utilitarian quilt used every night. Laura and Steve graciously allowed me to share this beauty. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I. And of course, it is on my list to reproduce.

These are two beauties- and with quite different temperaments! Love the dramatic orange color and how it brings the second quilt to life. Very powerful!
ReplyDeleteBoth jaw-dropping, especially that first one. Great inspiration. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI like black too. And how nice is the quilting. The "old style", isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love them both. I am inspired to pull out my plaids and large florals!
ReplyDeleteThey look as if they would be very soft. I want one of these!
Lovely quilts, and both look so contemporary! Neither as amazing as 'thistles' below, though. A richly deserved cover!
ReplyDeleteWhat a n interesting way to use solids and checks. Love the irregular widths of strips. Looks very Today!
ReplyDeletelove them! that first one especially. gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how old that quilt is, but it really appeals to me (the first one) and seems like a very modern design, doesn't it? I think I may have to reproduce that one myself.
