Last year in october I visited all the blogs and admired all those different, beautiful quilts. At that moment the quiltvirus HIT me.......... I started to make some doll quilts and I am working now on a Grandmothers' flowergarden quilt.
I bought some books about antique quilts. I bought this book:
It's beautiful , I can recommand it to you! Of course I also bought a book about Dutch antique quilts, it's translated in English , a beauty!!! It's called A history of Dutch quilts, by An Moonen. I am sure you want to make a lot of quilts that are represented in this book.
And now where you are waiting for, the quilt ........
After making some doll quilts I wanted to try a bigger one, I already had the Fandago fabric, designed by Kate Spain, that i bought because of the beautiful colorcombination.
The pattern is based on the 'bluestone walkway pattern', that you could find here. The quilt measures 63 x 84 cm.
I made it all by hand, not a single machinestitch!!! And I can tell you, I am very happy with the result.
Here you can find all the other quilts.
