You have summed up just what I thought on the day about today's 'modern quilts' I was particularly struck by the Amish Bars Quilt, circa 1890 - it's one of the last quilts on my 2nd post - the choice of colours and the graphic design, so incredibly 'modern'! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-28975473201804475092013-05-17T10:39:38.135-04:002013-05-17T10:39:38.135-04:00I've had your posts bookmarked for when I had ...I've had your posts bookmarked for when I had the time to do them justice and to spend studying these quilts. This afternoon I've had a wonderful time looking and looking! Thanks for all the lovely photos.

Once again I appreciate you taking the time to photograph this exhibit for us who can't see it in person! I am in awe of all the handwork. I wonder how long it took one to complete a quilt? After all, I can barely complete a lap size quilt a month and I have a washer and dryer, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, and other modern conveniences. Otherwise, the 50+ hours a week I put in with my business would never allow me time to sew! I can't imagine if I had to do it all by hand!!!!!
