My 30's quilt finished!

Well here it is.  My latest quilt.  I worked on this for a year.  The reason why it is called 30's, is that the fabric used, is reproduced from the 1930's.  A lot of yellows, reds, blues, pinks, greens,  so in other words no pastels here.  All bright colors.  Some of the prints will have children, cats, and dogs.  Then some will have flowers or some other design.  Popular at that time are fabric yo yo's.  Down on the very last row you will see cherries.  Another block I love are the pinwheels.  So you will see several of those blocks.  But I think my favorite is the dresden plate.

 A popular kind of stitchery was called rework.  I love this duck. Some of my friends, don't.  But I think she is cute.  The flowers are made out of rick rack.  Rick rack is becoming very popular again.  Love it.

I have it hanging in my basement.  The pink rocking chair is my mother's.  My grandfather gave it to her when she was 3 years old.  My mother will be 80 in June.  So I guess you can say it is truly an antique.  Goes great with the quilt.  Don't you think? Pin It
