    The simplicity is the beauty of these quilts. I too like vintage and reproduction fabrics. So sorry about the loss of your quilts. That must have really hurt.

    I like the old quilt pattens and fabrics. I have a few quilts made by my MIL which was made for warmth not designs. I am toying with the idea of taking a few of them apart and making bigger quilt. She made a lot of smaller cot size. Their beds were rather small compared to today's sizing.

    You should do that! Please post pictures when you do, OK?

    Thanks for sharing. They are very pretty and well done. Gives me an idea of something to try with some odd sized blocks I have of GGMother's.

    I too like simple ! love them both. I like making irish chain with just a couple colors and lots of quilting. I love muslin too; some think I'm boring but I love simple. Have moved to thirties and muslin now - some table toppers. Daughters seem to like whatever I give them. They are changing their table toppers with the seasons too. I like to go there and see something I have made in their homes.
