. . . 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.

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!

Both great examples of the antique Prussian Blues and yours with the Chocolate and blue.
