This piece probably deserved a rescue - it was encased in a cheap frame so taking a few photos was not easy, the glass added a bit of glare. But you get the picture (pardon the pun) ...
And I am newly inspired to do more hand piecing of tiny scraps. I like how it is edged with rick-rack. I'd estimate these fabrics mostly come from the 1930s, wouldn't you? I sure wish I could stitch a while alongside the person who pieced this. I think we would have a very good time together!
What a motley collection! Somehow those blues keep my eye moving all over...
ReplyDeleteI can totally see you making these while you are on the road.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun piece. If you keep finding this type and posting them....maybe I will get mine completed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, bright, and frugal little quilt! Thanks for sharing. Yes 30's for sure!
ReplyDeleteConsidering how much 'wasted' time I go through in a day, this project would be great. If I use thin muslin in 3 to 4 inch by 20 inch strips, I could fit everything in a small cookie tin. But the scraps? Do you recommend pre-cutting or long strips? This sounds like a project that I could actually finish. The ric rac is adorable too. Thank you for sharing. Delia in RB
