Oast Quilters

We had a wonderful afternoon on Saturday when Marion Drake brought just a segment of her wonderful antique and vintage quilt collection to share with us. Items ranged in time from the early C19th to the 1960's. A visual feast and lots of ideas to apply to our own quilt making.

Just look at that brilliant acid yellow

Items on tables in front of the stage were for sale.

I have noted this pattern and the extra wide sashing

A classic

I hope to make a frame quilt on these lines one day. From the time of Jane Austen.

The background strippy squares could be a modern jelly roll pattern but enter another league because of the mini Dresden Plates appliqued on top.
