A forty year old trunk revels some treasures
3 Attachment(s)
My BIL is moving to assisted living at age 86. He is going through his things. These quilts were in a trunk that he has not opened in over 40 years. He gave them to me to see if they coud be saved. These have only minor issues-need to be cleaned. Thought I would share and request your help In block id. Thanks !! [ATTACH=CONFIG]387300[/ATTACH]

Wow! These are the real works of art...cut with newspaper patterns and scissors and probably all hand pieced and quilted. These are treasures!
|
Wow..what beautiful treasures he "found".

Awsome to have recovered these quilts I like all of them don't know the patterns but I like them, good luck washing them.
|
Great quilts! The only one I think might be able to name is the third one and maybe Pine Burr?
|
Someone did a wonderful job. Treasure for sure!
|
Sorry- no help with pattern names but I do love those quilts. What a find! Hope your BIL settles in nicely.
|
What a treasure to come to you. Do you know who might have made them? Your Mom, possibly??

I have consulted my copy of the book The Quilter's Album of Patchwork Patterns compiled by Jinny Beyer.
The first quilt is a Sailor's Joy Patch. The third quilt is called a Philadelphia Patch. I'm still workin' on the second quilt ;-)) |

Lovely find. The same thing happened to me. My husbands aunt gave us an antique trunk unopened and it was full of lovely old quilts that his great aunts had made. Mostly scrappy but beautiful.

What wonderful quilts. Lucky your BIL found a good home for them with you, and hope he is happy in his new place.
