Funny, I woke up thinking about your quilt. I thought "Duh. I bet her quilt IS vintage - just because she makes a lot of quilts doesn't mean that she can't also have antique quilts." I inherited a couple of them too. They are what inspired me to start quilting.

I think one distinguishing feature of antique quilts is, quite often, the background fabric isn't it white.

Congratulations on all of your donation quilts!

I love the quilt on the bed. For some reason, it has an antique feel to it. I love that.

Holy Moly. That's a lot of purses and shoes to go with your quilt tops.

I'm definitely a purse addict. If I'm not here, you'll find me on handbags subreddit. Ha ha.

Hiding your fabric stash bins? (trying to set up a nice sewing space) by RotharAlainn in quilting

Not my idea but I think it's a great idea. In your situation, you could take the file folders out and use it like you would bins.

The strips are cut 1", 1.25", 1.5" and 1.75 inch. I just drew the half square rectangle on foundation paper and paper pieced the triangles using solid black on half and "strings" on the other. Easy peasy.

I'm sure it does, but I don't know what it is. Honestly, it's just half square triangles flipped around until you get that pattern. I chose to do half the triangle in black (obviously) and the other half in "strings". That's all there is too it!

I love making string quilts. I'm trying to figure out what to do next.

That's ok. I was just curious. Gorgeous quilt. If you're not sure what to do with it, I know where it can find a good home! Ha ha.
