1874 Antique CQ

Sorry about the grapic heavy post but ther is just so much to show in this crazy quilt ! It is dated 1874 and is made by a Mrs. G.O. Brown.

I know this quilt inspires me and I hope that it also inspires those of you who read my blog , thanks to everyone who has stopped by :)

Rolling Stone

This is an Antique Quilt from the 1880's. The pattern is called Rolling Stone. If I can find this pattern I may feature it in my BOW, what do ya'll think ? I just love this block.

A bit of eye candy

I am cruising around ebay this evening as I can't sleep due to a very nasty double ear infection ( OUCH ! ). I came across this antique crazy quilt. It is from the 1820's/1830's. I love all the handstitched flowers on this. I need to do more things like this on my fall CQ I am working on. Right now I am working on block 3 of my Fall CQ , I really need to kick this project in the butt while I have summer break. I hope to at least finish 3 or 4 more blocks before college starts again in the fall. I will try to get photo's of the progress on the fall cq by Sunday or Monday.

Another Antique CQ

Here is another Antique C.Q. that I came across on Ebay. I fell in love with the setting on this one and may use a simalar setting for my Fall C.Q. Thought I would give ya'll a bit of eye candy tonight :)

All I can say is WOW !!!

This quilt was made in 1883 by Lucy Zimmerman . I found it tonight on Ebay and man do I wish that I had an extra 500 -600 $ in my back pocket because this quilt would so be mine !!! It has such an intersesting layout . One day - if I ever have enough time - I would like to try to recreate it.
