I have decided to join the Bloggers quilt festival.
Click on the blog above and see how to join up.
This is my favorite quilt. It's not new. It's over 40 yrs old. I restored it to its former glory saving as many of the original blocks as I could.
It was a labour of love on my part and I am so very proud of this quilt. The red border just pops the red inside the blocks.
Hope you like it.

It looks so cozy and cute :)
Very nice, I love the old ones too....their use of color was so different than ours is now and it's nice to have that influence of those hard working ladies!
Is that a ticking fabric or seersucker, the blue and white stripe? I probably never would have put those values together in quite that way, but look at the pattern the red emphasizes! So cool!
Glad you were able to restore it!
What a treasure you have here, Nanci. Working with old textiles is so different from cutting into new fabric. It takes the love you describe.
What a lovely quilt! and good on you for restoring it. BTW thank you for the Fabricland tips, I am looking forward to shopping there.
This online quilt festival is a great way to find new blogs. Thanks so much for visiting mine. What a great quilt. The best quilts have a story to tell.
I think it is wonderful that your first quilt is still your favorite..that meant that you were hooked from the beginning...LOL.
You are very patient instoring it. I have my first and I think it is beyond restoring..LOL
It is a beautiful quilt and you did well to save it :)
It is a wonderful quilt! Glad you joined too. I had fun posting my entry!

Restoration is real quilt love! Also, we should get an Amanda Jean fan club going.
amazing restoration - great work!
Beautiful quilt. You did a great job restoring it. Thanks for sharing.
I like it, but I want to know where it came from. Your restoration is great, I just wonder about the backstory.
What one would call "an oldie but goodie". Very pretty.
Nanci, I love your quilt. What a treasure.. to find something and restore it to it's former (or close to?) glory. Well done girl!!
