The Bowers Museum Quilts

In the center of each of these log cabins are 3 squares, one red, one white, and one blue square, sewn into a long rectangle. Then the logs go round them...Someone was patriotic.

I went to the Bowers Museum today to see the quilts in their collection that they had on exhibit.

Gosh!

I love old!

I am posting the quilts I took photos of. I had to use the camera without flash.

That meant I needed to hold the camera verry still. I did~sorta~okay.

I couldn't believe it!!

I do believe that this was my favorite today....

This picture is looking much too pink. The quilt doesn't look that way really.
Made of silks mostly.

These two were all silks and a few pieces of velvet, it said cotton too, but I couldn't see any.

It was a wonderful way to spend several hours on a rainy day!
