My friend, Pat, has posted about a beautiful quilt she recently found. Her blog is birdnestontheground.blogspot.com. Your encyclopedia is mentioned, too!<br /><br />Sherry in Little RockSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229674912348613764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-33628621569081737812013-04-21T17:27:53.380-05:002013-04-21T17:27:53.380-05:00Thanks Barbara - a wonderful selection and much in...Thanks Barbara - a wonderful selection and much inspiration as always :)<br />HildaEvery Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573090188337210419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-21228245123185044012013-04-21T16:22:30.961-05:002013-04-21T16:22:30.961-05:00They are just fabulous and there are many favorit...They are just fabulous and there are many favorite.Add border to a quilt change it.Thanks for the links!Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658886355427916313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-52282347119132696262013-04-21T12:12:20.534-05:002013-04-21T12:12:20.534-05:00Here's a note from a textile conservator about...<br /> Here's a note from a textile conservator about wear on shaped edges:<br /> "I can say from experience that shaped edges are just like straight edges in terms of how they hold up. Wear and tear depends on use/abuse not the shape. The shaped ones just cost more $$ time and energy to replace. If they receive severe abuse it sometimes effects the areas of the quilt between the shapes and then sadly the shaped edge has to be removed to save the rest of the quilt."<br /> Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-37363409975709883762013-04-21T09:10:05.189-05:002013-04-21T09:10:05.189-05:00It is always interesting and amazing to see what p...It is always interesting and amazing to see what previous quilters could create without all the gadgets we have today.

I was wondering, with quilts that have fancier edges like the other examples, how well do they hold up over time with wear?<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-74789972216641227182013-04-21T06:12:41.528-05:002013-04-21T06:12:41.528-05:00Very interesting to read, especially after doing t...Very interesting to read, especially after doing the Dear Jane border myself. It is not easy to make a shaped border, but it can give something extra to a quilt.Annelieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951159265489648568noreply@blogger.com
