Based on the comments I’ve been getting, you guys have been really enjoying the family quilts. That’s good, because I have LOTS more of them!

This is yet another from my Great Grandma Roloff. In case I have not clarified this before, that means that it was more than likely made at her house, but many women in the family probably worked on it, especially the quilting. My father has reported that he may have even picked up a needle in his early years to help out when his mother took him to his Grandmother’s on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone would get together and chat, and they’d all pitch in on the quilting at hand. And a quilt was born.

At any rate, here is another of those lovely, lovely quilts. I’m almost embarrassed at the poor quality of these photos, but I LOVE this quilt too much to let that stop me. This is another fabulous quilt full of feedsack fabrics like the ones in the Red Double Wedding Ring quilt. It is hand pieced and quilted, with a muslin backing. The quilting is just in diagonal lines in one direction only. This is another one where I did not manage to get a shot of the entire thing at once, but there are purple and green borders that *I think* I remember correctly as being only on two sides. You can see that at least one side shows the stars going right up to the binding.

I’ll just let you enjoy the photos without any more of my chatter. And have a lovely weekend!
