The Victorian Quilters Quilt Study Group held their meeting in Wodonga on Sunday. A perfect opportunity to view old quilts up close. There was no way I could miss an opportunity like that.
This is Caroline's quilt, made from feedsacks. I've only ever read about these quilts so to see one was very exciting.
I know I was a little disappointed when this quilt, belonging to Janet O'Dell, was finally folded and put away. I would have been quite content to look at this one all afternoon. The maker had used some gorgeous fabrics enhanced by fussy cutting them. The hexagons had been paper pieced. Fabrics take on a completely different look when they've been fussy cut.
Can you tell why I loved the rosette in the centre? Yes the little red print in the very middle is what captured my attention.
Another of Janet's inspiring quilts.
Thank you to Janet and Caroline for allowing me to share these images.
