Stunning! Makes me feel like digging up my 30-s fabric.

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 :)

This is why I quilt. Yours are beautiful and they look like my grandma's old quilts. I quess I have to find some 30's material and try one or two. They are beautiful.

These are beautiful and you inspire me to want to try some. I love the GFG but I'm scared to try it.

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!

No need to be scared! Just try it! It is not harder than sewing any other shape.

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!

They are beautifully designed and made, and the quilting is faultless. An Aust Mag in Germany - that made my day down here. I love AP&Q.
