From Aeroplanes to Sunflowers



Quilt lovers attend quilt shows hoping to see a variety of quilts. We like old quilts and new quilts because there are always surprises and designs that please our senses. The airplane block would be relatively easy to recreate in a quilt for someone enamored of flying.


The sunflower quilt in the second photo made me smile. I can see it with the quilt draped over the edges of a bed with the flower heads reaching for the sky. The lovely hand quilting in parallel lines fills the center. As you can see, there were a variety of vintage quilts collected by our guild members.

  2. Love the Airplane blocks and the fabrics the quilter selected for them. Most that I've seen are in brighter colors and blues. This is nice. The Sunflower is a happy quilt, but so is the heaxagon with orange quilt on the rack next to it. Thanks for sharing these.
