My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...
Thanks for showing the back of the block too Martha - I actually forgot to clip those curves on mine. Like the colours of yours...how many do you intend to do?
Seeing the back of this beautiful block was very helpful. I've never done any hand piecing, though I download the free Inlingo patterns. I guess you just use a simple running stitch? Yours are very nice and even; I'll have to try that someday.
