a circa 1860 quilt in my collection.
The quilting is cross hatch even
The quilting is cross hatch even
through the applique'.
So soft!
I went to search coxcomb for
the plant information link and
look at this definition I found:
NOUN
archaic: a vain and conceited man; a dandy.
synonyms: fop · beau · man about town ·
bright young thing · glamour boy · rake .
I laughed and laughed!!
Not sure why but I did:)
So, this was purchased this from
a collector while in Paducah for my
appraisal training when I fell
in love with the colors and layout.
Let's talk Coxcomb variations.
This design is most often
combined with currants hence
the Coxcomb and Currants we
often hear of when titles
are being tossed around.
Mine does have a currant in
the center which was our
block 1 in the sampler.
The unique bit about mine is
the layout using sashing vs.
setting them block to block.
Here are some lovely
examples at the Quilt Index.
ASSEMBLY TIPS
Lots of little inside curves
on this one so the biggest
tip is take your time!!
Whether you hand applique'
this or machine, slow down
when you get
into those valleys.
