Whatever you call people that love old things (maybe nostalgic), I am one of them :thumbup:

LeeAnn, your quilts are gorgeous - those dresses are just adorable!
This is a crib quilt I made when I was first starting to get the hang of free-motion quilting without marking, so don't look at the wobbles.
I like the strips of flying geese because they're versatile and give you lots of options for quilting different designs. If you make the strips between them wide enough, you can applique vines and flowers on them - I know I've seen a pattern for this on the web, but I can't find it now.
