These beautiful quilts are so amazing! One of my craft goals for 2011 is to make a bed quilt. My mum is a prolific quilter and I have tried on numerous occasions to follow in her footsteps but I have never completed a project, although I have started SO many. Maybe this year!

I love them! This kind of quilts are called quilt of G-bend. It started by African American during the American Civil War. They are the quilts I want to make - The quilt on your bed is also quilt of G-bend...
ReplyDeleteWill you teach me how to make one? xx
ReplyDeletewow, I love the first one. the colors and the whole finishing. it looks so soft, that I just want to be wrapped inside! :) could you tell me, where you got that photo from? I would love to look at it in detail.

Quilts are amazing works of art - crazy quilts are my favorite - I have a double wedding pattern quilt made by my great grandmother on my bed. I love it so much - it is made from clothing scraps from my grandma, her brother, etc.
