Old Quilts

I  wanted to show you that I do occasionally finish a quilt, right down to the quilting.

     I made this stenciled quilt in 1981.  I do think the 12" blocks look better than the 14" ones I used in my more recent version.



        I don't know what happened to this quilt, but the last time I saw it it had not faded in the least, which I must admit, surprised me.




     I made this quilt in 1986 to practice my machine quilting.  Each block has a different design.  Unfortunately, most of the cotton patches have disappeared, but the quilted blocks remain intact because I used poly/cotton for the blocks.



      I found a picture of the Wheel of Fortune quilt I gave in my first blog.  I'm not really happy with the border so I'm going to replace it with a Prairie Point border.  I think it will dress it up really nice.
