Not EXACTLY vintage
My neighbor gave me some orphan blocks she had picked up at a rummage sale. I used some to make a baby quilt and donated it to my guild’s sale at the quilt show this summer. I gave some others to friends who will use them in a Safehouse quilt. My guild donates 300 quilts …
Irish Chain for Lottie
I couldn’t resist this quilt. It was a little more than I usually spend. 78×80 ish The backing was the same as the sashing. That’s a lot of fabric! The block is Ohio Star. Some of them are not quite square. I used only some of the sashing and some muslin (that had been on …
Painted Snowball
Nancy Cabot wrote an article in the July 25, 1933 Chicago Times about a Wyoming quilter who whimsically named this block Painted Snowball. If you wanted you could send 5¢ for the pattern.

Wonky Stars
A friend from Church gave me a stack of blocks from her mother in law. They weren’t very square or the same size. 55″ square and lots of fun quilting.

Seven, Dash, Nine
The 7 pointed star is a weird math problem. I don’t know how it was made, but it actually laid flat (which isn’t easy with any star). The star was a table topper I bought from an estate sale. I changed the end of the star from white to a tiny blue check. You’ll notice …
My own outdoor quilt show
Dale suggested to our financial guy that I display quilts on the fence to the horse paddock at the picnic he hosts for clients. We took 30 quilts (dale says never again that many). It was when I was writing up a little blurb about each one that I realized I had done 38. I …
