ffq-lar Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Here is a teaser of a sampler just off the frame. I will post more photos later. It's called Ode to the 1930's and was very well-pieced. I love samplers and grow to love 30's repro fabric more each time I quilt one. Maybe I should join Doodlebug's block swap......

Sallyquilt Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks for sharing, Linda. I'm really enjoying the newer 30's fabrics too. Makes me able to get the 'look' without all the scrounging around for fabrics original to the era. Love your quilting on this one...you're giving me ideas!

sdaurio Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow that is fantastic. I"m not much of repro fabric kinda girl, but this one made me look a few times and makes me want to reconsider. It must be the quilting which is awesome!

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh my that is pretty! When the 30's fabric first came out, I didn't think that it was really my thing, but the more quilts that I see made from it, I'm starting to think that I just may need to make one....... As usual, your quilting is perfect and very inspiring to the rest of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wonderful that you recognized them and appreciate what you found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
