Just thoughts about my life and the progress of my quilting, with lots of pictures.

Sorry, I have these posts backward. Keep reading.
The following is written about the quilt: Entrant: Bonnie keen Year Made: Before 1945 "Dresden Plate" hand pieced and quilted by my Grandmother before 1945.
Wonderful old quilts! Seeing pictures of quilts like this is what drew me into quilting - I wanted quilts like that for my own. And since there weren't any in the family I knew I'd have to make them. If only they could talk! Though these are in such good shape I imagine they had very light use. And how super that the background is known for each one!
I am enjoying these quilts so much. Each time I'm sure I've found a 'favorite' the next one pops up and I have to change my mind. Thank you for sharing them with us.

They all are in such beautiful condition. Of the three, I like the wedding ring the best! Hugs, Finn
