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

Spring Day- time to change the quilt
It's a beautiful spring day here in Ambler.
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.
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

ReplyDeleteStrange to think you are going into Spring, whilst here in Victoria, Australia we are having the first signs of chilly Autumn mornings with beautiful sunny afternoons.
