This "Floating Star Quilt" is featured on the University of Alberta (Canada) Museums site. No date is given for the creation of this quilt, but it is probably an antique. Similar to modern quilts too.
I like the simplicity of the colors and design, so I Pinned it. Today my Pin Stats page revealed that it has been wildly popular so I thought you might like to see it too.
It's a beautiful quilt in it's simplicity. I'd enjoy making a reproduction of it from scraps--but maybe I'd liberate the triangles! Today I worked on a simple Gees Bend style quilt using an old curtain, a bit of a blouse and a scrap of a man's linen shirt (which I had used as background for an applique quilt). Thanks for posting photos of interesting things.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when we made quilts like this inspired by Gwen Marston??
ReplyDeleteAn antique modern quilt... Maybe "modern" isn't quite as unique and new as one may think...
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! Thanks so much for posting. I will have to do a little poking around on Pintrest to see if I can find your page.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how such a simple pattern can be so striking? I love it. Thank you for sharing it.
