A Finished 1930s Quilt and a Taupe Start

As promised here are the two machine pieced quilts I have been working on lately.
The first is a 1930s quilt. 


In fact it is made with authentic American Feedsack fabrics for the 30s that 
I purchased from the States. The yellow is new fabric but typical of the yellow 
used at this time. ere are some close-ups so you can see the fabrics more clearly.






I have machine pieced and quilted this cot quilt - 32" by 44".

This is the new machine project I have started. And it is a welcome
return to my all time favourite fabrics - Japanese woven taupes.
It is great to use a variety of fabrics and to make quilts in a variety 
of styles, but Iove returning to my taupe collection.


This will be a big quilt - the block is 8" finished.

Back soon, Robyn
