Old But Cool


I think old, antique quilts are so full of inspiration. Even modern quilters can find something to glean from these beauties.


Last weekend I went to the Historic Poole Forge mansion to see some awesome quilts. In some ways it was way better than the AQS show and it only cost $5.00! Get yourself a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy.


























Some of the quilts were extravagant and some were simple but all were beautiful in their own way.
The mansion was beautiful too!

    Thanks so much for sharing these!! I just love to look at antique quilts - especially the applique ones. That flower block at the top of your post is such a fun block :0)

    Lovely antique quilts. Hard to pick a favorite. Some have a modern look. Thanks for the photo of framed antique quilt stencils.

    What a gorgeous collection of quilts. I have to admit a soft spot for the ocean waves quilt with the W in the middle! I do love quirky.

    thank you so much! visiting Pool Forge is one of my favorite things - even better than the big show sometimes.
    I love these antique quilts - especially that first one. It looks like teeth.
