Your quilts are all so beautiful, and so well done! I tried to pick out a favorite to make some particularly nice comments on, but I couldn't! I just love them all. I so love 30's fabrics!
Here in Central TX, the 30's aren't all that popular, so I've had a really hard time finding them. The local shops say they simply don't sell...can you imagine that?!? I finally gathered enough to make a single quilt, but that's all. I would love to see your stash! I bet it's just gorgeous!
Again, I love your quilts. You did an amazing job! And to have handquilted them - I'm simply in awe :)

Thank you all so much!
Here in Germany I hardly ever find one of the fabrics - most people here do not know what it is, a 30s reproduction. I buy almost everything online. Thanks god there are some very good online stores that have a wide range of these beautiful fabrics!

Oh, and some of you asked about my sewing technique for the hexies: I do not use the english paper piecing method. For me, this takes too long. Fabric hexies and a simple running stitch, thatīs all and that works well for me!
