I wanted to share some beautiful quilts I saw at the antique mall. I do not know the name of this one, but I love all of the scraps used in it, and the centers are yo-yo's!
I believe this one would be called a Grandma's fan, I love how the use of the white wedges makes it look like a sunburst!
These are yo-yo's that are connected by crocheting! It was gorgeous and very old! The placement of the yo-yo's reminds me of a Grandmother's Flower Garden with yo-yo's instead of hexies!
Here are 3 yo-yo quilts, I wish I had also gotten a close up view.
Can you believe this trip around the world? I love the colors and it is gorgeous! I wish I could have bought this one and brought it home! I am thinking this quilt needs to be on my to-do list!
I love this quilt, it was white with embroidered designs all over it!
Here is a close up view. I wonder if the pink on the border was actually red at one time to match the circles? What a lot of work!
Another beautiful scrappy quilt! This is a pattern I need to try sometime!
I love old quilts, don't you?
I got more pinwheels from Cheryl in Maryland, bringing me up to 64 counting the ones I made.
I've run out of the brown fabric (I kind of wish I had not used it because it is so dark), but to late now, I was kind of thinking of maybe adding this red fabric in place of the brown, what do you think? Or should I do a navy blue?
You can see my original dark color was the dark yellowish orange.
Thanks for your help!

Wonderful sharing Missy!! Thank you. One day I would love to own an Antique quilt!!
I'd do navy blue in your quilt. It would be dark and sort of neutral, like the brown.
I can't believe the embroidery on that antique quilt! What workmanship!
Love quilts! So homey. :) Never appreciated antique stuff until I moved here to Kansas....but, now I have a much deeper appreciation for all of it.
Wow, Missy, these were some phenomenal quilts! I *love* the yo-yo quilt with the crocheted connections...it's just lovely! I also like the white top with embroidered designs. All so pretty!! Glad you're still getting pinwheels in ... and I really liked the brown in there. I think red would be a good substitute. :)
you are an amazing quilter! thank you for adding your wonderful blog to the Thursday Favorite Things hop. xo
My favorite kind of post filled with old quilts. I have so many. One is a very, very old YoYo that a lady gave me. I treasure them all.
It is always so much fun to see the old quilts! Thanks for sharing.
