I don't really have much to add - nothing finished, nothing really purchased.
I did buy this at an estate sale. My great-grandmother's quilt has a few pieces that are shredded, so I've been on the lookout for replacements. These might not quite fit the era, but I think they'll blend pretty well. Plus since it's only one block, I don't feel guilty tearing apart an antique.
The piece came in a bag with this...
There are a few flowers that need to be added, and I'm sure the birds are looking at something... Anyone embroider and want it? There's enough fabric for the front and back of a small pillow.
And this cute little apron. I'm not sure if the bunnies are supposed to have been embroidered? They seem a little out of place in black. I might play around with them before sending this to my younger niece.

ReplyDeleteIf your GM's quilt is the drunkard's path one, i would say that's a good match in colors and fabric styles.

Cool finds. Hope the antique fabrics work in your Grandmother's blocks.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I put my unfinished projects in a bag my family can someday sell them and make a little money. o.k., truth is I'll need more than one bag.
ReplyDeleteAnything to do with a quilt is right down my alley. I have one that needs a little repair work.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet finds! Enjoy!
