Womenfolk.com has some very interesting articles of quilting history. I was browsing through some of the myths that they had written about ,with one being that while it’s a lovely picture of a lady piecing a quilt by the fireplace,it is rather unlikely that was the way it was because of the poor lighting. The quilting was more likely to be done May through Nov. when the days were longer. Makes sense as I use a bright light to shine on my quilt when I quilt in the evenings,so I can see the small quilting stitches.
Now it is time for the postponed happy dance! A finished quilted.💃💃


This photo shows the quilting a little.




I haven’t decided on next project yet….

What a good feeling to finish. Your quilt is fabulous and your grass is so green. Sorry, as a gardener, I can’t help but notice. Stay well.

Wow, I love all the quilts – you are so skilled! I especially studied the patch quilt with the diamonds. That quilt is much closer to my personal level of skill, and I loved the alternating gray and black blocks. It made me realize how important design is even when making fairly basic quilts.
