I guess you could say there was a little eBay bidding war on this quilt with 16 bids, but it was still very inexpensive at $35. This Crazy Block String Quilt was made around 1975. It is mostly cottons and cotton/polyester with a few random synthetics in the mix. I love it because it's a visually exciting quilt. Here are a few detail shots. Enjoy!
The fabrics appear to be repurposed, which would make it a scrap quilt |
Funky prints and hot colors with free strip piecing |
Cheater fabric, floral print, paisley, and bandana |
The directional strips and varied directions create movement |
The star fabric looks very Bicentennial |
Totally fun.....and I love the mix of all those bright colors!
ReplyDeletethe star fabric really makes it!
ReplyDeleteOkay, would you be interested at all in a double knit r/w/b quilt made in 1976? Squares were handed out to Job's Daughters members, they embroidered, appliqued, etc to commemorate my term as Honored Queen. It's huge as I remember. If you are the least bit interested, I'll dig it out and take pictures so send you.....I just can't believe there's this surge of interest in double knit quilt!!! I do love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteYes, please! I would love to see it:
