Postage Stamp Quilt

I started this quilt after going to my first quilt show. I just had to make a quilt! This is made up of 2,989 squares 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" each. This was made before the rotary cutter was introduced. Each square was traced around a cardboard template and cut out with a scissors, the old fashioned way! Machine pieced, hand quiled.

1930's Baskets




1930's reproduction fabrics. Made in 2004. Machine pieced and blanket stitched. Machine quilted by Bonnie Bosma. I made this quilt to go in the same room as the Aunt Gracies quilt. Sort of a 1930's theme for the guest room.
