I’m dead certain that old quilts are so cool because some Depression-era dearth of resources forced people to be creative in ways we can’t even dream of in our superindulged society. Which is clearly ridiculous. Particularly because this quilt was probably made in the 60s or 70s.
But isn’t it neat?
I love the way the solids, prints, and florals mix, and the way the blocks are arranged. Even if you don’t share my proclivity for pastels, you have to admit, there’s so much charm in the layout.
It does my heart good to see a quilt like this – all one block – now and again. It takes such a level of commitment to make 30 churn dash blocks. It’s like finding out somebody’s been married 30+ plus years – just nice.
If you win big in Vegas this weekend, you can pick up this lovely over on the ebay.
