1930's Scrappy String Star Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
My mom was born in 1930 and she wants a new quilt to put over her bed. The amish quilt that I bought her she says is too dark and she wants something lighter. So this is what she is getting for Christmas. Finished it up during a boring Denver Bronco game.

I have a friend who was telling me about a strip quilt but really didn't get it til I saw your Mom's quilt. That is a beautiful quilt! I love all the 30's fabrics with the white background. Well done!

Awesome, did the pattern come from a quilting magazine? I seen it in a newer magazine, but can't remember which one?

I have about 100 whole, real feed sacks, that one day I will cut into. This will be perfect to use them in.
Thank you so much for sharing, I remember Dad getting feed in the flowered sacks and wearing clothes made from them.
Will bookmark this page for sure.
