Mine would definitely have to be a crazy quilt with so many "luxury" fabrics and embellishments. Then I would spend oh-so-much time on the stitching . . . sigh ... another lifetime perhaps.
|
Just one would have to be a quilt pattern called, "Private Retreat".
It was done in navy with roses and is gorgeous. I love roses and I love pinks and reds together and on the navy...divine. I would however, have a faint about all the other luscious lovelies I want to do that I wouldn't be able to. Quilters are dreamers after all. In so many ways, we make dreams come true ;) |

nine patch of jewel toned blue, purple, deep green satins and velvets, joined with feather stitches with heavy gold thread, 4 inches of gold fringe all around.
Or a dresden plate in bright florals or a memory quilt with b&w and sepia photos or blocks of hand embroidered flowers alternated with heavily quilted plain blocks all on unbleached muslin or a whole cloth satin with a huge rose centered or appliqued siluettes (sp?) of gay nineties men and women or a jeans quilt,with blocks includig intact flys, pockets and belt loops all queen size or .... or....or.... how can one decide??? |
Part barghello, part kaleidoscope, part mariner's star, part drunkard's path.... you get the idea. I'm the kid in the candy store, love them all

I would keep the scrap quilt my grandmother made. She died when I was little (4-5) and I am in my 60s now. It is heavier than all get out. She was a seamstress for the wealthy, and made use of the scraps from their clothing, and whatever was usable at home. My favorite patches have rub marks from when I was little (velvet squares).

I've been collecting fabric for a Dear Jane Quilt and an applique Little Women Quilt. The Little women quilt is an applique quilt that a woman started years ago in Texas and I bought at an Estate Sale.

Hunters star in greens and purple.
Saw it in Jo Parrtts' "Favorite Traditional Quilts Made Easy". She does it in 1/2 square triangles and I can do that. ;-) But have to finish the 2 matching ones for dggds. |
Baltimore Album for me too
