I've been working on this wool quilt since the Winter of 2014
and I can finally say I finished all 54 blocks.
Here's the seven rows that I completed and have shared before.
The last five blocks
The blocks are all wool applique on wool backgrounds.
I tried to duplicate the look of this Civil War quilt by using only wool yarns for embellishing.
This is the back of the original Emily Munroe quilt...

It shows the foundation fabric and 'potholder' construction of the quilt.
I'm going to finish my quilt in the same manner.
You'll notice the quilt was finished without quilting or binding.
Your blocks are beautiful, Nancy. Well, your whole quilt is beautiful! Did you buy the quilt as a kit or did you search out wools yourself?

Oh, Nancy. What a wonderful finish! I have wanted to do a version of that design for ages. I was thinking maybe in cottons but the wools have such a rich look.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful project. Very interesting how it was finished.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Congrats on finishing it. It's beautiful. Please keep us updated on your potholder finish.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely work! I'd love to know more about the potholder finish. I don't know what that is.

What a great project, Nancy, and now the blocks are done--way to go!! I'm also curious about the 'potholder' finish. and no quilting and no binding---hmmmm.

What an accomplishment. The blocks are beautiful and I like you have chosen to stay as close to the original as possible.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am catching up on your posts...Amazing work, and such a beautiful quilt you have made. So close to the finish line!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks beautiful. I have been following your progress and seeing your work always inspires me to get busy on mine again. I am working on row 4. I too will be interested to learn more about the potholder finish.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely quilt. I like wool too. If I see it right in the photo of the old backing, she folded the edges from the front over the foundation on the back?
ReplyDeleteHappy finishing!
