Looks like I got here at the right time!<br /><br />I would love to recreate this quilt with you. I have always loved antique quilts, and strive for their feel in my own quilts. I was extremely fortunate to take four years of classes with Eileen Trestain, the quilt historian and appraiser who wrote the two "Dating Fabrics" books published by the American Quilters Society. The first year was "pre-1830 medallion quilts from the Georgian Era. I have collected a good stash of fabrics true to that period, and finished the medallion I did in class. It, however, was all pieced. I would love to do an applique quilt from the same time period as I love to applique.<br /><br />I sent a request to join your Yahoo Group - I hope you will approve me. 200 characters wasn't nearly enough for my "introduction" - I had to shorten it 4 times!<br /><br />Thanks Ester. I'm looking forward to reading backwards through your blog.<br /><br />Patti in Vancouver WAPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-90694017766653775232013-06-13T04:15:47.095+10:002013-06-13T04:15:47.095+10:00Thanks for sharing this beautifull quilt!

I haven't even seen the first block and I am in total awe.<br />This quilt is so beyond my capabilities, but in saying that, I will collect the monthly blocks and watch the progress.<br />Maybe try small parts to see if I can possibly master the skill needed.<br />Thank you so much for this and all your wonder patterns.

Oh my goodness - Averil Colby's ...Hello Esther<br /><br />Oh my goodness - Averil Colby's book was given to me on my 11th birthday and I have been staring at that picture for over 44 years - one day, Fiona... one day... I love the weeping willows in the corner. I have wondered whether it was stencilled?<br /><br />You ask if anyone knows of its whereabouts - well it's definitely not in the V & A museum and I query the York Castle Museum, because I think I will have seen it in the "flesh" so to speak having looked for it for 44 years. If it is still out there then I think it's more likely to be in a family trunk hidden away just like the "lost" Isle of Wight Quilt which is also in AC's book which magically reappeared back in 1998 during an edition of the BBC's Antiques Roadshow - it has been residing in Oxfordshire.<br /><br />What we also have to remember is that whilst Averil Colby's book was published in 1956, she had quite a collection of photographs, etc and it could well be that the photograph of the Dedham Quilt was taken back in the 1930's and 1940's.<br /><br />I think I would start in Essex with the County Museum in Colchester - many counties have collections hidden away - Hampshire being one and Essex being a wealthy county could also have a collection that ne'er sees thelight of day!<br /><br />I look forward greatly to joing you on your jounrey with the 1790 Marriage Coverlet.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Fiona in England<br /><br />PS another thought - could it be Irish? It has some similarities to Mrs. Bennis' quilt in the WinterthurFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203500616603596911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-35331740996341144002013-06-11T21:51:34.751+10:002013-06-11T21:51:34.751+10:00I am intrigued with this quilt.
