It's kind of like Lori's C&C doll quilt, sort of an Ovean Waves? It would have been made by piecing the elongated hex shapes with all of the little pieces, then 4 sewn around a center square, forming a larger octagon shape. Those were sewn in rows with the larger squares added in between. It would have a lot of set in seams...and I'll bet it was all hand done? Gorgeous! What a lucky find. ;)<br /><br />I love the quilt you made with the 1/2 squares. It has a wonderful balance of color and the design is so nice..not to mention that fabulous quilting! Well done Sharon. :)Ann Championhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142572469569643507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378175096875819173.post-68657025528407308002011-01-08T02:39:45.904-08:002011-01-08T02:39:45.904-08:00I think the first quilt is a real treasure for all...I think the first quilt is a real treasure for all the fabrics and so pristine in colour too.

I have a hunch the pink squares were sewn in with a set in seam. I also think if it was used under the springs it would have rust marks through out the quilt. Thanks for sharing this. It is beautiful!<br />Your newest quilt is wonderful!
