My Inspiration: Old Quilt

As I said before, I always loved the old quilts at my aunt Carol's house.

Well, it turns out I've got a couple. Today I'm sharing this beauty:

Postage Stamp Quilt

Apparently this quilt was my father's baby quilt...it's over 50 years old! I wish I knew who made it.
I love the colors...neither feminine nor masculine...a quilt like this is perfect for any baby.

The quilt measures approximately 42" x 42". Because of its age, the quilt is showing signs of wear, as well as fading. Even so, the colors are still vibrant, and the patterns on the fabric still visible.

The back of the quilt is a flannel with dainty giraffes on it. The back is probably the most worn-looking part, besides the binding.

Flannel Backing

One of these days I intend to reproduce a quilt like this. It's just SO many tiny squares...it's a little intimidating!

Until next time,
