I think some of these blocks got one extra row than the others.
Or something..don’t they look more rectangle than squre? The bottom two in the center?
Yipes! I’ve had days like that!
So we just piece it together the best that we can, and when we reach the bottom of the quilt, we just trim off the excess and call it good!
I wish I could have gotten a full photo of this one, but some antique places have limited floor space and the only thing you can do is fold the quilt in fourths, do the best you can and hope to catch the essence, of not only the quilt, but the maker behind it in a simple cell phone photo.
I wonder what this quilter thought as she saw that her chains were NEVER going to line up across the quilt due to this placement.
It makes my heart smile!
Oh, there are so many lessons to be learned and voices to be heard in looking at and studying vintage quilts.
The block pattern, the fabric, the quilting stitches, even the piecing itself, not to mention the binding method of choice are all a clue into the person who made this quilt.
