Antique Quilt Show at Nimble Thimbles

 Shirley showed us her antique quilts at Tuesday night's Nimble Thimbles meeting.  Her quilts were true beauties.



 This close up is from the above quilt and has swastika fabric in from back in the day when it was a good luck symbol.
 Love the one cheddar block in the center!









 Really cool border on this one and Shirley liked how it isn't all matchy matchy at the corners.



 Close up on the above quilt--I love that red fabric!


 It was nice to go back to Nimble Thimbles...I rejoined and this is the group I go to quilt camp with tomorrow morning!  I have the car all packed and am ready to go!

I absolutely love seeing antique quilts like these! They look to be in very good to excellent condition?
