INDIGOS

Ohio Star in Garden Maze Setting - 1847
Another Ohio Star in Garden Maze Setting - 1844
Puss in the Corner - yr. unknown
Feathered Star - yr. unknown
Bricks - although marked yr. unknown, we found 1866 stitched in it
Oak Leaf - Yr. unknown
Trade Winds - yr. unknown
All of these indigo quilts came from two estates - but history back to the same family, so those that had no date on them all had to be made around the same general time period - 1840's-1860's
LOG CABINS
Although these three log cabins came from different families - and no date - you can see the indigos within these - the added shirting and color would bring them into the 1860's - 1900 . Actually two of these happened to be relatives of the indigo quilts owners - so some fabric sharing??
More tomorrow

Such wonderful old quilts.
I didn't know about this show. It would have been fun to see them in person. Thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful!
From the usual size of labels on quilts at shows, I'd say those Ohio Stars are quite small! Very impressive quilts. Claire aka knitnkwilt
What fun! www.quiltartbymegan.com
Beautiful Ohio Star quilts!
Wow, you would think those log cabins were modern. As for the others, I love how much of a statement can be made with just two colours.
It really makes you realise the importance of labeling your quilts.
Long cabins always interest me. THe two colored quilts are truly an inspiration in the antique genre.
