I saw this antique quilt and just fell in love with it and had to make one. Finished this one last September. I drafted mine by looking at the pic; no pattern. Wanted warm country colors. Will show a pic far away so you can see the graphics and how the light fabrics dance through it. I have handquilted freehand stippling on the right side; have the left side to do now. Hope you enjoy it like I do!

Thank you, Margie!! I copied it pretty well but didn't want all the red they had in it but it looks close huh? I even turned their picture upright for you to compare! They did a great job (40's I think)! My blocks are all even and lined up but sure don't look like it. The wind was blowing today - must be the wind, hahaha!

Your antique reproduction looks great. You followed the picture very closely & I can see it, the way the white winds upward. Great work. Happy Quilting.

Thank you Sheila Elaine! Had a hard time even finding out the name of the pattern for a long time let alone any info on it. So tried to get the contrast correct also with the light fabrics. It was fun. Thank you!!!

WOW - breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.

oksewglad 02-17-2010 05:11 PM

Great job, n2. Take a closer look, think your pic looks a little distorted only because of the unquilted areas! This is a great idea. What size square and sides did you use? OBTW--made up almost 50 9 patches yesterday with my 1 1/4" squares. Now dreaming of settings--snowball maybe? Later G

Thanx, G! So nice of you to say! It just dawned on me what you meant about the distortion. You are right! You hit on it exactly! I couldn't figure out what I did wrong as it looked so crooked when I knew everything matched to a "t"! As soon as I HQ the other side, it'll line up perfectly! lol. sure hope so! Let me go measure for you. In case others are interested, I'll post all info on it now.

Here are the measurements:
The solid block finishes @ 4" and the whole block finishes @ 5-3/4". The borders finish @ 4-1/4".

I knew you would find a good use for all those squares they gave you!! Be sure and show the ladies at the guild what you made with it! That's fabulous! 50 nine patches will be so adorable with a snowball setting. Perfect! Will have to post the pic of my huge snowball quilt I did. You'll love it. It's so colorful. Made it for my niece. Well, thanks again, oksewglad, for bringing that to my attn about the distortion! Never would have thought of that, duh? Where's my brain these days?? lol. Thanks for the nice comments! Let me know if you make a PC quilt. Kudos!
