A Vintage Quilt

I posted this Tuesday but wanted to post it again because I wanted to share it at other linky parties and be a polite participant. ;)!  I promise this will be my one and only repeat!

Goodness~  this post is going to be image heavy.  I took out a vintage quilt out of the hutch and took out my camera with my wonderful 105mm macro lens that I've kept on it.  I love that lens.   And how can I pick just one photo?  Who am I kidding?  How can I pick just a few?  It's impossible!  

I think the fabric in this quilt is 1930's.  If you know of a more exact date I'd love to know. 

Which pic and fabric is your favorite?

This is one of my faves because of all the irregular quilt stitches and the 'hidden' quilt stitches.  It would have been so easy to give up on the applique because the stitches aren't perfect but the stitcher continued on.  How I can relate to that!  And I love the character of the imperfection!

This is another one of my faves~  the composition of the photo makes me love it.

This napkin isn't vintage but it was in my drawer so I pulled it out.  And the doily beneath it.  
I use the doily as a napkin in other photos I've posted before like here.  I try to mix it up when I can.

And another one.  The Valentine sits in my hutch so I had to pull it out.

  1. I'd love to see an overall view of the quilt design--in addition to your wonderful close-ups! Now I'm wondering what it looks like and it gives me a case of the nerves.... lol ;)

    1. Iva, I'll try my best to get an overall shot. I should have mentioned that it's a quilt top and not a quilt.
