from an older Country Threads pattern. Very scrappy and done in lots of Marcus Bros. prints, as were most of the Country Theads patterns. They seem to look "right" in those slightly old fashioned looking fabrics.The two small angels above, scattering the stars, are hard to see. The plaid against light is a wing of each, with a small brown triangle for hair, and one for the face. The star buttons were added several years later, when ceramic buttons
became popular. Remember those? In shapes like hearts, stars and carrots to begin with, and going on from there?I hand quilted this one, as I use to do with most of my quilts. And it's weird, but I still have enough yardage and variety of Marcus Bros. fabrics that I could still piece many more Country Threads type patterns...LOL . This particular pattern is a templated one, but I think it could quite easily be rotary cut instead.

Very nice Finn. I like the pictures and stories in the preceding posts also. You have such a gift for writing. Have a great day.
You should be writing these lovely stories down elsewhere, apart from your blog, for future generations.
How's Ebby?
I think I missed the Country Threads boat sailed without me. I love your quilt and the buttons are perfect.
We all have a touch of 'the dreamer' in us. Some are just more able to let her play *s*. Such a pretty photo - is it hand-tinted?
