I own that book and fell in love with that picture. It looks like a quilt my grandma would have made...if she did, I don't know.<br /><br />Actually, I'll be sewing mine by machine to practice my invisible machine applique. I have all the pieces ready to go, but I'm not quite sure where it is since I moved. However, mine will be doll quilt size.<br /><br />By the way, I have an abundance of 50's and 60's scraps. Are you interested in some of that vintage? I'd be willing to share some with you.<br /><br />Oh, and tell PackRat that I do that too. I actually found a picture of a quilt that had a piece of fabric that I had a piece of....and it was a book about quilts from the 1920's!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-40891028852336197032010-03-28T22:42:50.778-05:002010-03-28T22:42:50.778-05:00Love these clamshells...can't wait to see your...Love these clamshells...can't wait to see your finished quilt...it will be amazing!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947050490192912888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-90470494068376033072010-03-28T22:09:26.530-05:002010-03-28T22:09:26.530-05:00Wow, this is interesting and very new to me!
