Women made many a dress or apron or piece of child's clothing from the material of the bags that the men brought feed home in. I can just imagine all these scraps being the leftovers after the woman of the house sewed first dresses, then aprons, and finally used her collection of small pieces she had remaining to construct this baby quilt possibly for the anticipated arrival of the newest member of her large farm family.Next on my agenda . . . sandwiching and quilting.

it's beautiful. love those fabrics. isn't it amazing that all those different colors can go together so nicely?
enjoy the quilting on this!
Thanks, Beth - I think 30s fabrics, especially, lend themselves to being able to blend with and compliment each other. Or maybe our eyes are just used to seeing them that way because traditionally the quilters of that era didn't have much of any other selection!
Thanks for stopping by! I am a bad blog commenter also, I never comment. Shameful I know. :) Thanks for saying hello, its always fun to see who's out there!
Mom, I just came across this post while looking for some information I need for your website . . . but just wanted to say that I LOVE this pattern, Double Pinwheel! LOVE it. So old-fashioned. Just FYI . . . should you ever make me a quilt . . . . ;)
