Sometimes when I'm cutting out a quilt or sewing the quilt together, I get to thinking about how we view quilts and quilts we see and find from the past. And I can't help but wonder, many years down the road. Say 50 to 100 yrs from now, when some of "our" quilts we are making today get found by others....what will they think?
Would be very interesting to be able to be a "fly on the wall" as they say...just to hear all the chatter about them.

We have materials and techniques today that I am sure quilters could not have imagined 50 or 100 years ago.

I would what new things they will have in the future that we can't even imagine today.

It's wonderful to imagine my quilts a century from now. I hope they are as loved as mine are today.

Very thought provoking... I also wonder what direction quilting will have taken 50-100 years from now :D:D:D

I do love my quilts and I think what we do now is terrific; but unfortunately I feel that since quilting is so widespread these days that some of the uniqueness is lost.

Tammy, yes I think about it, too. Hope we inspire people as we've been!
