I will have another look at it tonight - it's been carefully folded away where I've been so busy.<br /><br />Elaine - you bet it could. Some of the materials are very posh and from best dress days I think.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-45194431734655147572016-10-18T12:04:16.888-07:002016-10-18T12:04:16.888-07:00I've returned several times to gaze at the qui...I've returned several times to gaze at the quilt. I'm thinking I see some silky fabrics, some that are velvety--even some checks and plaids that might be outing flannel. Can you describe for those of us who are smitten?<br />I wonder if this is an example of a 'postage stamp' quilt--a great many tiny squares.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-82954337207797204742016-10-17T22:16:30.797-07:002016-10-17T22:16:30.797-07:00What stories that quilt could tell.

What a find.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-64013635400914447012016-10-17T04:12:57.876-07:002016-10-17T04:12:57.876-07:00Dawn - I'll bring it up to you (with those app...Dawn - I'll bring it up to you (with those apples!) <br /><br />Sue - so do I. A real labour of love.<br /><br />Rambler - the pieces are so tiny with perhaps just a word of half a word on it would take some sorting. I shall enjoy it whilst I have it, as I have two other vintage quilts to finish mending so I must harden my heart or disappear beneath the pile!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-60035887997658360872016-10-17T03:23:33.780-07:002016-10-17T03:23:33.780-07:00Oh so intriguing that the papers were cut up handw...Oh so intriguing that the papers were cut up handwritten letters - I wonder if it was meant as an antidote to a love affair that had gone terribly wrong?
