Airing of the Quilts 2
Fresh quilts
The quilt on the left is a Double Wedding Ring. I picked it up at an antique shop, probably about 1990. I hung it up in the bedroom and used it as my “focus idea” for decorating – if something went with the quilt it could be in the bedroom too.
The other quilt is the first one my husband and I bought together, at a flea market in Nacogdoches in the 1970s. A lady had used it to wrap up the new quilts she had made and was trying to sell – she and her sister were so surprised when we wanted the old one instead.
Nine Patch detail
I would say it is a 9 Patch, set on point, but I may be wrong. It is made of silky materials – some pieces may be rayon or nylon, I’m not sure. A lot of the fabrics have not held up well at all, but I love this quilt. I think the strong contrast between all the black and the pastels gives it a very interesting composition. To me it is another endless source of inspiration.
