Canton Canton Canton

Well isn't this one interesting. Made in the thirties and from the scrap drawer. I believe we call that a stash now. I couldn't stop looking at it because I couldn't figure out how it was pieced. Some inset seams I guess. I think these are easier by hand and they had all the time in the world. No television. The quilter could listen to the radio and quilt at the same time.

This one was interesting for two reasons. It had yellow and there aren't too many yellow quilts. And it has the original star I made at my grandmother's house. It would have been great for the top of the bed....so cheerful. But I bet it was under the bedspread to be used for warmth. What a great country quilt!

I Digress.....

I have been showing quilts I have made, but we went to Canton Saturday and saw some really interesting ones. This is a fan quilt from the thirties. The fans are on point except for the top and bottom border. Beneath the top border there is a sliver of a bottom of a fan and at the bottom is the rest of the fan. So country and a bit primitive.
