The real old fabric was a gift to my family from a very distant relative and looks as good today as it did back then!! What fabulous work from that era! I decided to put a piece of it in every quilt I've done so far. There's only a few quilts that it's not in so I'm down to only about 6 inches left, if that much.Originally Posted by dsj
Textiles tell so much about our history and fashion which was and still is important to all cultures around the world. I noticed the fabrics as soon as I saw the block. I restored an 1830's postage stamp mosaic quilt last year, 5,800 pieces. It was quite a job. Have fun with your vintage stash. I know you will create some fun blocks with them. What are you going to do with the piece that is 126 years old? You can pm me, so we don't tie this up.
:wink: I put that to good use, didn't I? It was a way to give tribute to the gifter. We can tie it up if we want, it's my thread! ha. PM me if you ever need a certain scrap or color to match your repair. Repair work is one of my highlights in life, repairing everything but quilts. Keep in touch!! ;) ;) Fantastic job and patience on that mosaic!!! WTG!! ;)
