Antique Quilts Are Classic!

Walking the isles of quilt exhibits at International Quilt Festival is an amazing experience. Included in the exhibits were some antique quilts. They are truly classics. Here are just a few of my favorites from the exhibit.

Even with a simple Nine-Patch block, this quiltmaker created a frame to set off the blocks with the careful placement of color.



Stunning!




Check out the quilting on this piece.


I love these heavily appliqued quilts.

    These are beautiful! I adore the old quilts!! Hope someday to make my own red and green applique quilt. Always enjoy seeing quilts that inspire....and that includes all the quilts you've shared from market. Is it overwhelming to see so many lovely quilts? I would have to take photos just so I could remember them all!
