HI, I am not on line very often, but I am trying to find out the name of a quilt for my mom. We were going through some OLD Quilt World Magazines last weekend and came across an article about Richard Cleveland -- Vermont Quilt Show. Anyway, in this article there were pictures of quilts and all were identified (except the one we really liked). If anyone has QuiltWorld Omnibook Spring 1983, the quilt is on page 31. It looks as if it is made of all triangular shapes and is a bouquet of flowers. I will try to get a copy of the picture and send it along. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a clue about the quilt but just wanted to say hello and welcome to our group.

Just an idea, think it might be Brides Bouquet, and in this months Fons & Porter Mag they have a picture, they call it Nosegay. They dated it around the 1930's, sure is pretty.

By the way a big welcome to the Board from Very Hot very sunny Spain. Think I am going to melt....... :D

Elle

Sorry I can't help you, but welcome!

Thank you. I think that may be what we are looking for. I will let my mom know.

Hi from Mass. Sorry I can't help you.

Elle's on to something here....I have one planned and a link to free blocks, overall design & templates on the McCall's site.

Hi Retro, it kinda clicked, probably because the magazine had just arrived and I had looked at it closely. McCalls is a great site isn´t it.

Elle

Thank you. I checked the site last night after receiving Elle's suggestion on the name of the quilt. It was exactly what we were looking for. Can't wait to get started.

Oh yes, I really like the McCall site----gotta love those freebies right Elle?? :D

prsajl Anytime...OOOH, you'll have to keep us posted on the progress. You know, there will be a purple noodle swap in July if you're looking for different scraps. Info's posted on the classified/swap area from the home page. I'm doing it to keep for my Bride's Bouquet and have some pinks saved, too but I can always use more fabric. ;-)

Retro, those are the best ones I have found. Love the foundation piece ones which I have just got into. Have you found any others.

Elle

TONS Elle....I'll PM you with some links.

Thanks great :D :D :D :D :D

Hope this is helpful to you. I have other patterns, too if you're interested. Just let me know what types you like best other than the piecing....I'm afraid I haven't spent much time saving piecing sites but if you use a search engine for free foundation piecing you should get some good results. Happy Sewing!! :D
