A Quilt in memory of a Great-Grandmother
#21
Beautiful Muv!! You're right, some of that fabric is American...the brown that is in your first house (the third pic), the vertical strip...I have some of that from my mother's stash...and I know she bought it in the 80's for a quilt she was working on for my sister.

I wish I knew where the background came from. It has a border print with Egyptians on. It didn't show up very well on photos which is a shame, because in the gateway of one of the houses are a couple of Egyptians who my husband has dubbed the Egyptian gardeners, which gives the whole quilt a slightly barmy edge.
