new old quilt


New Quilt

No sewing today, worked all day!
I finished this quilt a couple of weeks ago. All the fabric is discharged black cotton homespun. The quilt is inspired from a picture of a quilt from the book The Quilts of Gees Bend. I love to cut my blocks freehand (i.e. not using a ruler). The quilt reminds me of and old lino floor. I would love to own an pre-loved antique quilt, I suppose this is my way of getting "character" into a new quilt.
