Small Antique Crib Quilts

A very sweet 32.5 inch x 36 inch crib quilt found in Maine this year.  The blocks are about 4.75 inches and the fabulous border is 2 inches.  I am thinking c. 1870, what do you think?

Doll Applique Block Pattern

I think these are the cutest little dolls.  A vintage pattern from the 30's or 40's. I found these three blocks, they are on a 15 inch piece of very pale pink sateen. It says on the selvage "Princess Satin". I have made patterns for the little girl and little boy here.  I think they would work as 12 inch blocks. Have fun!

Redwork Pattern V

I have a lot of vintage and antique redwork quilt patterns and quilt blocks.  I want to share more patterns, and think I now know how to attach a PDF for you.  There are 36 patterns in this group. The original blocks are 9 inches.  If you plan on doing them I would at least make them 10 inches and trim them later. Always best to have the extra fabric to trim. It takes a while to clean them up, so I'll post a few at a time.
