A bag of Suprises Part 3

These are some of the blocks that my grandmother and great grandmother did, I can tell that her (my great grandmother's) eyesight was going by then, cause they are kinda wonky. Gotta dig the color combinations!

A Bage of Suprises part 2

Another gem from the bag. Quilt top already done, just needs borders. Has a very spring like feeling and i love the colors. but what to use for the borders? Taking all suggestions. Quilt top was probably done in the 60's to 70's so kinda need to keep the colors and patterns in mind.

This was also in the bag. It is already quilted. Gonna square it up and put a binding on it and use it as a wall hanging. What you think?

 

 

Quilters Newsletter published my 300 Words about Quilting: Awareness Quilts essay on their website as part of their June/July 2013 Web Extras. My story was about my quilters group making blocks for the "Home of the Brave" which gives quilts to the parents of fallen soldiers. WOW!!!!!!

A Bag of Suprises

Amazing what you find in a bag that your mom gives you, not sure if my great grandmother, grandmother or my mom did this quilt. It's all hand sewn and hand quilted. the yellow flower fabric were scraps from a dress that I had. Didn't even know I had this quilt. Think it was on my grandpa's bed at one time.
