Not much quilting has occurred in the last few days so no progress reports at the moment. This week is the last week of school here in England so I am busy with last minute stuff, not least help with GCSE Art coursework which I should be able to show soon.
Anyway I still have loads of stuff to blog from our recent trip to the US.
When we were in Paducah we went to a smaller show in a church hall which had a small display of antique quilts mostly from the 19th century. I was particularly taken with the brightly coloured, pieced ones as these are my favourite type of quilts.
This is a traditional Double Wedding Ring done in the 1940s but it is so modern! I love the rainbow placement of colours in the curved piecing.Anyway I still have loads of stuff to blog from our recent trip to the US.

Hi Janet,
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog - my husband and i are tripping to the US next week, and doing the Illinois part of 'route 66'. My interest is patchwork and quilting. I am hoping to come home with a couple of antique/old quilts in my suitcase! Are they easy to find over there in antique malls? Regards, another Janet.
Hi Janet
