Little Quilt Gallery Finished/blue and white block reveal

Remember the vintage yardsticks?  How could you forget?!  I had hung one yardstick in my narrow hall way with the intention to hang more once I found some.  Today I completed the gallery by putting up two more yardsticks.  The hallway goes from the front of the house to the kitchen in the back.  There used to be a closet  right there, but we removed it during some major rennovation to our 1929 home.  The hallway is narrow because of this and difficult to get a straight-on photo.  It is a good spot because there is no direct sunlight to fade the textiles.

 The quilts on display are all ones I have made.  I  can also display antique doll quilts.

Regarding my last post, here is the blue and white block I have decided to do.  Colors will alternate as shown.   It is rather large, 3 inches finished :)  PA German version is coming next.
I just looked out the window and it is raining.  Yay!!!!

  1. Very nice! I recogized the little quilt in the middle row on the left! Last time I saw ---that cute "doll quilt" was in my house on top of one of my doll beds getting ready for it's picture to be taken. I sure would have loved to have kept it but---- the Fon's and Porter gang said it had to be returned to the designer and that would be "you"! :)

    Love your display of all your fun little quilts!

  15. What a great idea for hanging the little quilts. I use the yardsticks (not vintage ones)slipped thru a sleeve on the back of quilts that are less than 36" but the really small one make so many holes in the wall. I've been hesitating to hang a grouping for that reason -thanks for the idea!
