This is one of the quilts in my collection I really treasure. It’s determination to have survived 154 years despite being unwanted and peppered with 3/8″ holes over almost all of the red triangles surrounding the blocks makes it deserving of our care and preservation. The red fabric in question is one of those produced using iron as a mordant to set the dye. The dye damaged the fabric so badly that when you wash the quilt the dye will disappear taking the fabric with it. It’s obvious that’s what happened to this beautiful quilt. The other fabrics are nearly perfect. There is a signature block with tiny cross stitch lettering. It reads; Sally Post, 1854. Age 63.
Sally, it’s a privilege to take care of your quilt and share it with others.

I will be posting one block per month for the quilt. Each block will be available online for 2 months after it’s posted. Past blocks will then be available for purchase. Fabric requirements will be posted with the first block and remain available until all the blocks are completed.

Whatever fabrics you choose to make this quilt with I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
