Hi there and thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post.
Great encouragement you give but the pattern is not something I can reproduce myself because it is a one piece top with a printed pattern on it. It is not pieced together at all. Therefore, it would be quite useless to try to recreate a printed, not meant to appear pieced, pattern.
I really wish I was able to attach the pictures I have because it would explain everything! But I was not able to figure out how to attach the pics. Maybe I need to be on a computer in order to attach pictures, rather than not an iPad? Albeit my iPad is as “Pro” as they get. Lol.
I have another post explaining another quilt I found that is very similar to this one in the way that it is a printed top, repeated on both sides with fabrics wearing away quite a lot. My question about that quilt is, is it the same quilt I see on the TV series, “The Walton’s”. I’m not talking about the show they did called “The Quilt”. I’m talking about a quilt I have that is exactly like the quilt seen on their show, episode after episode!
this leads me to question that maybe these printed quilts I have ARE replicas of much earlier quilts? I can’t find the answers to this anywhere! It’s driving me crazy for over 10 years not knowing the answer to the question, is my quilt the same as the quilt on the Walton’s show, and therefore is the quilt I have very old?
The similar quilt I found at my grandmother’s house, still brand new in the plastic wrapping, tells me that these blankets/quilts printed on both sides cheaply made quilts can’t be very old. Or maybe they are two completely differently made quilts. ?? Ugh.
thank you again.
