Spring Day- time to change the quilt

It's a beautiful spring day here in Ambler. 

I changed the quilt in the quilt lab to this little beauty.

 My best guess is that this crib quilt dates to ca. 1850-1870.

 I love the use of striped fabric for the bias binding.

 The quilting is nice, though it doesn't really stand out against the print fabrics on the front.

I also came across a couple cutter quilt fragments so put them out to enjoy.  Inspiration comes from grand quilts as well as worn, raggedy pieces.

The Etsy Shipping department has been busy.  I just listed two more antique textiles in my store, including a pair of pillowcases.  Is it time to start your own collection?  www.etsy.com/shop/annhermes1

Antique Doll Quilts on Display

I did a little rearranging on the little quilt wall.  One nice thing about the yardstick hanging method, is the ability to change things up very easily.  You also have a built-in scale so you can see the size of the quilts.  These are all antique doll quilts; one source of inspiration for the little quilts I make.
