Antique Pineapple Quilt.

Kathie, over at Inspired By Antique Quilts has been

sharing photos this week from an exhibit she visited 

at the Mercer Museum in  Doylestown,  Pennsylvania.

Oh, how l wish l could visit this exhibit.

Of course, the next best thing is seeing Kathie's photo's.

And it reminded me that l have not shared photos of

my antique Pineapple Quilt that l bought in Kansas City.

So sit back and enjoy a feast of color.

There are wools, silks, velvets and l am sure other fabrics that

 l have not discovered yet. Every time this quilt comes

 out to play, l see something new. Its exciting to open and look at.

Its lived a hard like. Its not in perfect condition,

but you can tell, its been loved, and its still being loved.
Don't forget to click on the picture to enlarge for a closer look.

l love the way the color placement changes the look of the block.

And if you count, many blocks are made of different amounts of blades.

 Love the soft pattern on this blue fabric.

Vibrant color combination.

And of course, patterned fabrics give a totally different look.

This is the fabric on the back. A cheater cloth.

 This quilt is dated around 1870's, so no wonder she's a little frayed around the edges!!

l hope you enjoyed seeing my pineapple quilt. It was fun to give her an airing!!

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.
