This is one of my favorite blocks with some of my favorite prints of the day.
Some of the blocks had fussy cut areas. This one also had a polished cotton, popular in that time period.
This block was the favorite of most viewers at a quilt show.
More fussy cut birds in the little squares.
I used Thermore batting in this one. It is the very thin polyester batting that was introduced in the 1980's as a batting for quilted clothing. Due to public demand they started packaging it in bed size pieces. It gives the feel of the old fashioned summer quilts that had flannel instead of batting.

I am overwhelmed by the number of quilts that you have and I love seeing every one of them!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is another treasured 'TIMELESS' piece.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt... Each block is a mini quilt in itself, and your colors are wonderfully coordinated. I really like what you did with each square, center square fabric as the 'hub' of star and repeating the same fabric in the triangles. This quilt has been added to my list of favorites.

The quilt is stunning. I love your colour combinations. This is definitely a block I want to make!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful this looks. Perfect showcase for the fabrics of the time, & still wonderful. Each block shows your wonderful sense of colour, Wanda.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, I have all the fabrics in the first favorite block except the background! But then I have nothing from any of the other blocks. I didn't get excited about fabrics until some of those larger prints became available, but then I didn't know what to do with them! Your use of them is inspiring as always.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the borders. It would have been a difficult task to find the border(s) that tied it all together, but you did.

You have an impressive background of quilting and such remarkable quilts you've made and your stash is enviable.
