I have recently been purchasing one of my all time favourite classic children programmes of the 70s LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRARIE. i use to watch this programme as a child and loved it so i have been collecting them on DVD
On watching them i have noticed a lot of patterned quilts as props on the beds some have beautiful patterns and one in particular is the one i am going to make
It is amazing where you get quilt ideas from lol

My daughters and I used to watch that series every week. What are some of the block patterns you have noticed?

Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, on which the series is based, were some of the first books I ever read. Kind of like Harry Potter of the 50's, but without floo powder.

I loved the books but could never get into the tv series. But I bet there are plenty of pretty quilts shown.

well = you should take a trip to our neck of the woods where their home still stands and the buriel site in our graveyard. Lots of LHOP history here. Laura passed in the 1950's.

As a mom to four girls, we look very fondly on LHOTP. I never thought to watch for the quilts, though... I'll keep my eyes open next time I watch.
