School is in and it's time for a pop quiz. Beginning tomorrow we will show quilt blocks made in the 1800s. See how many of the patterns you can name. Make up a sheet with 30 lines. We will show two blogs a day with 5 blocks each. On Tuesday we will show the answers. You will love the blocks and the old fabrics. Then on Sunday and Monday you can email us your answers (the email address will be on the last blog). You don't have to get them all correct to win the goody bag. Entries must have 30 answers, you can only enter once, and we will select the winner in a random drawing. By the way, what is the block above?
Thank you to The Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California. They have allowed us to use these images from their exhibit "Untold Stories". The show features early American Quilts from the collection of Susan Brooks. The show runs through November 23, 2008. They have some great events to attend during the run.
