Tribute to Laura, my Laura Ingalls Wilder quilt. I know you have seen it before..*S* But I'm here to say it has been away, gone on a trip that lasted 4 years. When I sold my house, this bedroom set(from my marriage) stayed with the house. The kids buying the house requested that I leave some of the furniture, and I did. A queen size bed, 2 night stands, a tallboy dresser and one with a mirror. That's alot of bedroom furniture to take into a senior apartment. Since I no longer needed the queen size quilt, my DD#1 took it home with her. But now I have a new queen size bed(still no headboard tho) and she brought my beloved Laura quilt back to me. For you Prim gals, I'm not sure if this is Prim, but it definitely inplies vintage in my opinion. I'm not sure if this could have been made back in Laura Ingalls time, but I'd like to think so..*S*

how wonderful you have this quilt back and can enjoy it once more!
so simple - but so nice :o)
Sometimes I think that quilts that travel should have a special label for the back... above the Made By label, and stating the events in it's history. ESPECIALLY if it's a quilt that's been loved and used on a bed. :)
I certainly would want this quilt back also. It is beautiful. One of those quilts that just invites you to bed, it looks so comfy.
Finn, it's beautiful. You have a way of putting colors together when working with simple patterns that is wonderful. Enjoy it now that it is back with you!

What a page full of great posts. I wanted to say "Hi." I'm going to go read all the text again and really study all the pics.
I love the tiny stitches and piecing material together to get a 3-inch square. That kind of stuff inspires me to keep thinking "out of the box" and look for unique solutions.
Thanks for sharing. I would have loved to stop by your shop and stay for hours. There's nothing like working for yourself to find out what work is really like, is there?
Hugs.

oh so pretty, love the fabrics. Great story too
How great to get your quilt back. It looks just like an antique quilt. The colors look authentic too. I like "forestjane"'s idea about another label for the travels of the quilt.
I'm sure Laura would have loved it too. Glad you have it back again. I remember that wavy vine fabric - I just wished they'd made it in some brighter colors as well as the muted ones.
I remember those years. Not just Hoffman florals, but florals with all that gold outlining - bleck.
That is so nice that your DD brought it back to you for your new bed and you get to enjoy the quilt once again. It is very beautiful.
How wonderful that it's HOME again ...
Yes, it looks just like a Laura/North Woods/homestead oldie!

One of the oldies but never lost it's style. The older more traditional quilt patterns are really the best aren't they?
The 9-patch is really one of my favorite quilts. I wonder why I make them and then give them away? I don't have a 9-patch. Hmmmmm....
Ilove it all the bed the quilt everything!! And I am also a big fan of The little hosue of the prairie !!
I love your Laura quilt! And I think I do remember looking at it before. I love the colors and just the simplicity of it!
