The Rest of Granny's Quilts

 I believe I have now collected into one place all the quilts I still have that Granny made, and they are all clean. I've previously shown you four of them (and a couple of comforters). All the quilts were made before 1950. Can't do better on timing than that.

This one is perhaps the most spectacular. I believe the design is called "Pink Dahlia."

It's interesting, because the design seems to be very curvy, but notice that all the pieces are triangles with straight edges. This is piecework.

This one is a "Lily" design. Sometimes it's called "Tulips." Anyway, Again, it has a lot of pink- not my favorite as we all know. This is applique. The motif is upside down in the picture.

This closeup is right side up.

This one is perhaps less interesting, but it's yet another technique. The "Flower Basket" design is all embroidered. Some of the threads are worn, but if you like pink it's nice.

Here's a better look at the design.

These three quilts are mostly less spectacular than the ones I've shown you before (links at end), but it's just the order that I located them- no sort of ranking intended.

There is one other that I can't find at all. It's possible that this one got worn out and went by the wayside. This may be some variation on "Bear Claw." I have two books from which Granny took most of her patterns, so it's possible it's in one of those. The dog in the picture is Jeremiah who died in 1975, so this quilt hasn't been seen in quite a while.

In other news: I worked at cleaning up some of the mess I've created in unpacking all this stuff. There is yet more to share in the coming days. I brought up one more big box from the other building, cleaned and sorted it. Almost all of that is going to the resale store. I'll keep just a couple of things. There was nothing special at all in there. (And none of the missing cups!)
