Quilts Pics from Our Travels

Quilts Aging Well

When we travel I take pictures of quilt. I “ALWAYS” ask before taking pictures, to date I have not had anyone say, “NO” and most say thanks for asking.
I ONLY purchase quilts that I feel can be used and washed, there are loads of quilts to look at here at the house.  It’s me…clean is clean, washed in machine, gentle and line or in drier till damp and then on line.

 These 2 quilts are from a Shop in Chillicothe, MO

Notice the red’s and how it’s the color that has stayed the best over the years. I didn’t purchase these quilts, wish I had…

Every Quilt Has a Story – Perfect Square

Square Perfect a Quilt Pattern Book

This is a simple quilt pattern made with squares,  using just three colors, and doing it red, white and blue, the colors pop.
It’s not the red and blue, it’s the white that will make any colors POP.  You can use any two colors and white, result will be wonderful.

This quilt’s story started when we lived in Nebraska. Husband had a grocery store and always worked every holiday. After the boys left, I seemed to have very long holidays. This is one of the July 4th weeks.
Holiday parties and get togethers are not that much fun when you arrive hours late when Husband is available and others are about partied out. I have helped way to many hostesses clean up. After a few of those, I decided, home and make a quilt.

Nothing is REALLY as the Picture Make it Look

Nothing is as it seems.

The other morning I was chilled here in Florida and I was to lazy to get my own quilt and Husband’s was there…Isn’t it pretty. Well, yes…BUT

 Husband’s quilt is the softest quilt in the house.
That’s all about the fabric quality, (purchase the best you can afford)

I machine pieced it, say 1985ish, and tied it with yarn. It’s been washed and dried for YEARS and over all it looks pretty good.
All of us on our sites try VERY hard to make everything perfect, right lighting, right look, etc. etc.  The truth is NOT always perfect. 

star quilt pattern

The Quilt itself is pretty good but the binding has not faired well. Yes, it was doubled, machine sewn on and hand sewn down. BUT….

star quilt pattern

It’s not aging well, and that’s OK. (pic I would have shared, no one would see)
Husband wants it left just as it is and I will not be repairing it.
Remember, not all is as it seems.
