And there are more quilts but not a lot more wall space ! So a couple are on beds (novel idea I know) but what to do with the rest? Hoping for a decorative effect without being overwhelming here - haha. So they are piling onto dressers and creeping on to shelves...
Ah well...room for one more smallish one on the wall I think. The "In the Time of Toile" kit is just the thing. And I have it pinned ready to machine quilt now. There will be a deep red binding to finish it off:
I saved the lovely chintz in the line for the backing - so pretty:
I've finished another Baltimore Album block

| Baltimore Album block 19 |
And still going strong on the stars for Mary Leggett's Star Bouquet - maybe a third of the quilt done now. It is a "no brainer" while watching TV in the evenings:
I hear (in Quilt Blogland) that yellow is making a "come back" in quilting. That is great news because it has never been "out" with me - love a bit of yellow in a quilt, especially the limey/greenish shades.
Talking of yellow ... what do you think of this? - a new quilt in the planning. It's a pattern (Carolina Lily) from Quiltmania 72 and has wiggled its way to the top of my To Make quilt list.
What a spectacular gallery of quilts---Sarah Morrell quilt is a favorite of mine---I have the pattern, but have not started it yet. I think the quilts are a lovely touch throughout your house. I am a very tactile person and would like to wander up close and see all the fabrics you have used~~~~The greens and yellows in the last project look great together. Really like the green on the bottom of the piles---very striking color. Have fun & keep stitching. Judy
ReplyDeleteI would love to have room to hang some of my quilts in the house. Yours are incredible! Your 'Time of Toile' is looking wonderful too.:)
ReplyDeleteLoved the guided tour around your quilt gallery. Beautiful quilts. Love the new fabrics for your new project. Wish I had more space to hang quilts.

ReplyDeletethe third picture the quilt on the left what quilt is that???
visiting your home would be just an amazing feast for the eyes! I love that you have the quilts displayed to enjoy everyday vs just folded in a closet.
I have a quilt ladder with a few quilts on it and have to admit I give most of my quilts away but mine are not amazing hand applique quilts but I am working on that now!
those will never leave my home!

Thank you for the wonderful tour of your quilts! They are all gorgeous and I too love yellow and try to acquire as much as I can when it comes 'back in style'.
ReplyDeleteOMG .... you have so much beautiful quilts and big ones :-) I love that english basket quilt (if that is the right name).
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see your beautiful quilts hanging on the walls of your home. I just moved into a new house and have yet to hang any quilts. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts decorate your home beautifully. I really like the fabrics you have choosen for the green and yellow quilt. Those classic traditional quilts are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhen someone walks into my house there is no doubt a quilter lives here. Lovely quilts, Hilda, and I think they are a bit like insulation.
ReplyDeleteYour latest yellow and green project is going to be amazing!!
Lovely lovely lovely!!! That's it...I'm going to start a new quilt today! ;o) Beautiful display of quilts! Would be interested to know your preferred method of hanging (sleeves? etc). They are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVisiting your home would be like going to an amazing quilt show. How high are your ceilings? I wish I had space to hang some of my larger quilts. Went and pulled #72 and thats a great green and yellow quilt. Looking forward to seeing it come to life.
ReplyDeleteWow Hilda! You've made some incredible quilts!! I LOVED seeing how you display them in your home. Your Toile quilt looks beautiful! I can't wait to see your progress with the green and yellow applique quilt. The inspiration quilt is amazing. As are your stars. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home tour of your quilts. They are art and deserve to be out and enjoyed. I rotate mine around now that I have more space to hang them. Your new project is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful eye candy would love to have room to hang my quilts
ReplyDeleteYour tour today was very inspirational. How wonderful to be able to have these works of art on display in your home. Your new project is going to spectacular. I'll have to look through my magazines. The Carolina Lily is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the photos of your beautiful quilts that are hanging in your home. Your work is so lovely. Carol in Texas
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is hanging open in amazement at all the stunning quilts you have made. It's so wonderful to see them in use in your home, thay are all so very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved yellows in my quilts, the new project is fantastic.
Thanks for the tour! Your home is beautiful. No such thing as too many quilts.
ReplyDeleteExciting! A new project! Love it!
Wow, they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have a question, how do you hang your quilts, specifically, what kind of hardware at the top? They are hanging so very nice and flat and hugging the wall. Wish I had the chance to hang more of my stuff but I don't have anything as nice as you do. Very inspiring, thanks.
Your newest Baltimore block is looking great! And, I would love to see that yellow and green quilt. Awesome project idea! I especially think the borders are delightful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting,
Wanda
Your house is just beautifully decorated with these quilts (and too much, no, never!)
ReplyDeleteYou really made another stunning Baltimore-block. And this new project in yellow and
green is so lovely and cheerful, I cannot wait to see it "in-progress".
Kind regards and thanks for the inspiration. Ageeth
Beautiful! How wonderful to live among those quilts every day! Thank you for showing us your house and I love your work. The new planned quilt looks great, looks like spring and we could do with that!
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoyed your quilt show. You've made some pretty wonderful quilts. The star quit with the brown background is turning out really well. I wouldn't normally choose brown but you've really made it sparkle. Maybe brown background is in my future . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful tour, what an amazing collection of quilts you have made. Love your Jester quilt and the new green and yellow will be wonderful. I just LOVE your blog - the posts are always so inspirational:)
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to see your quilts hanging around the house, and folded on the shelves. My walls are full of quilts too and I sometimes wish I had more walls. Your Time for Toile quilt is so beautiful!! and your stars are progressing so quickly it seems. You always have such wonderful things to share with us.
