Quilts, Stars and Plainfield 4

Two more quilts . . . 


. . . and this one may not look very exciting but wait until you see the Prussian Blue fabrics! 





Aren't they gorgeous? I have a Prussian Blue board on Pinterest so pop on over to see more quilts--and dresses.



This year I photographed a few more blocks of the Album Quilt which is on a bed in the History House at Mt. Tabor. Two years ago I also took some pics which you can see if you follow the link in yesterday's post. 

 Iris (or Mrs.) Chandler [?]

C.A. Blaum..[can't read]
 Dated 1854
Nyack, NY

Anna Maria Tallman

 Mary E. Talman

The interesting thing about this quilt is the machine top-stitching on the appliques. 


Chocolate & Blue and Lace Stars



I tried to copy the quirky vintage block in Barbara B's blog. 




I really had to dig deep to find a lace fabric. 



Plainfield 4 is done. I'm trying to reproduce some of the blocks in a NJ Sampler quilt. You can see the other three here.  

Happy Sewing!

  2. I always enjoy seeing the fabrics you choose for your stars (I have yet to start mine, but I'm taking lots of notes). I did pop over to Pinterest to see the Prussian Blues you've gathered. Bold and beautiful fabrics!
