After seeing all of the photos of the red and white quilt exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, I thought I would show you the red and white quilt that was made by my Grandmother. She died in 1923 so I know this quilt is at least 88 years old. As you can see in the photo, it has been used and well loved.
Even though the quilt is not in perfect condition, I'm so happy that I have it.
This quilt is made from the Jacob's Ladder pattern. I pulled some of my red fabrics and decided to make a block. I think I should have either used a white background or made the shirtings scrappy.

I'm working on a couple of projects that use 2 1/2 inch squares, and I have an overflowing container so.......
This is how the same block(s) look made with random scraps.
Right now I'm really liking the red and white block.
Hope you are all stitching today. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
