Welcome to Block 6.
We are now half way
done with blocks:)
There will be a bit of a
holiday break and I will
be back with the next
block December 6th.
Gives you plenty of time
to catch up to us:)
Cherry Tree quilt.
I loved it the minute I laid
eyes on it just for how
unique it was and
the QUILTING!!
Quilted in 1/4" cross hatch
with feathered wreaths
at the intersections.
OOH LA LA!
It came to me early in
my appraisal study so I
went to the professional who
knew way more than me
(historians and dealers).
No one had seen this pattern
before except my dealer
friend, Cindy Rennels.
Below is her pic.
It had sold already as
Cindy is a dealer.
There is a small part of
me that thinks
these two are related
somehow due to rarity
and having the same quilting.
I haven't really found any
for my design.
I have found other designs
that are called Cherry Tree and
I have included links below
for Quilt Index, Barbara B.,
and IQM.
It really is a mystery:)
Enter the rabbit hole at your
own risk:)
This was the earliest I
could find in a search
of Cherry Tree and it
is dated 1852:
S. Z. Wilhoit March,
1852 by her mother
ASSEMBLY TIPS
When you look at the
applique' it is mirror image.
The templates are created
as mirror image for the top
and the bottom halves.
You will need to tape
pages together.
Easy and fun:)
Come quilt along with us
as we learn about the quilts
that inspired my
