Nimble Thimbles is a small quilt guild in Franklin, Indiana, my hometown. This past weekend was their annual quilt show. There were many vintage/antique quilts as well as new.
The first quilt I saw was one I knew and loved because I've been wanting to make it for years. It's called Budding Beauty, it's a FREE pattern and can be found here.
Next was a vintage Grandmother's Flower Garden.
Look at these tiny hexies and hand quilting!
Another impressive vintage quilt with one inch finished squares.
Just look at all this scrappy goodness.
The Courthouse Steps quilt was folded and displayed on a quilt ladder. I'm not sure just how big this quilt is but it doesn't matter because the width of the finished pieces is a quarter inch. Impressive no matter how large the quilt.
The rest of the in this post are the new quilts that caught my eye.
Of course you can't go to a quilt show without buying something. I'll share my small purchases later this week.
Until next time...
I hope you find time to stitch up something sweet!
