It is a long time ago that I posted something on my blog.

 I have a lot of troubleswith it.

Tomorrow  I see Lucy and ask her a few things.

This summer, made blocks for the quiltretreat by Gwen Marston this autum.

In the QUILTMANIA NR 90   this idea I liked  ,
I have boxes of squares so I tried


Here is the result

 

And you organise the blocks

 

You cut them

 

 

You make a block with 9 squares

I fell in love with the crib quilt and then there was a big quilt with the same patern it was impossible to seperate the quilts.

Crib Quilts and other small wonders by Thos.K.Woodard & Blanche Greenstein

43 Sunburst
c. 1885 Lehigh County Pennsylvania 39”x 42”.
Thirty-six miniature quilt blocks,
separated by a blue cross and surrounded on
three sides by rows of variable star blocks and
on the fourth side with a birds in air variation,
form the basis for the design.
A bit crudely pieced and quilted,
but imaginative, this is a mate to an almostidentical,
well-worn quilt from the same area,
probably made by the same maker
for two siblings.
Collection of Richard and Rosemarie Machmer,
Now they both are mine.
