Here is the quilt I spent two weeks in January making
Lena quilted it on her long arm machine.
We chose yellow flowers.
I tried to make it authentic,
like the old quilt I copied.
So I chose different tones of yellowand reds. Making it was great fun.
Down to the charming corners,
which I chose to perfect
12 squares in all on the new,
the old one has 30. Makes a difference.
Compare the two - well mine lacked the borders at that point
The old quilt
Five across, six on the long side.
Who dares these color combinations ,
well, whoever made this quilt, was that daring.
I would love to know who made it.
Old shirt fabric. I'm looking for that particular blue.
Then I would make another copy with all 30 squares.
And here is one of the old quilt's corners
