Of course I do!...Hi Dee, I love your little quilts! Of course I do!!! They are just so fun and unpretentious, and that's A-ok with me.<BR/>They don't have to look primative or be in dull colors, they are fine just the way they are. On my side bar under labels, I think there are 14 maybe entries under doll quilts. I'm not sure any of those I've shown over the years are primate til this one with the old vintage blocks.<BR/>One possibilty for aging a quilt is to lay it in the sun for awhile, you'd be surprised how quickly that changes the appearance.<BR/>Do your OWN thing...if tea dying appeals to you, give it a try, if not, I think they are perfect just the way they are. Hugs, Finn<BR/>P.S. Thanks for the very nice things you said..*VBS* And please DO feel free to send me any orphans or a block for my blog-a-versary quilt if you'd like to!! I'd love that!Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800962.post-29205336106872898182007-07-31T10:42:00.000-07:002007-07-31T10:42:00.000-07:00Hello,The little quilts are nice!Kind Regards,Sonn...Hello,<BR/><BR/>The little quilts are nice!<BR/>Kind Regards,<BR/><BR/>Sonnja from the NetherlandsBeertje Zonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933932175563968129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800962.post-28997104836536656812007-07-31T09:08:00.000-07:002007-07-31T09:08:00.000-07:00The quilts are so pretty.

But I also think you're hard on yourself....I think your quilts are beautiful. The tea stain might be a good idea to tone down the edges but I still like them just as they are. <BR/><BR/>Your town looks so beautiful, green and peaceful but I don't envy you all that humidity!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084823218319628822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800962.post-60315605789623088052007-07-30T22:31:00.000-07:002007-07-30T22:31:00.000-07:00My old guild (in Santa Rosa) used to have an annua...My old guild (in Santa Rosa) used to have an annual orphan block challenge. We would rummage through blocks aon a table and come up with a creation that was then given to one of our charity projects. I just loved doing that. I have moved way beyond playing with traditional block piecing, but you and Finn have made me nostalgic!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800962.post-57882139403524993582007-07-30T18:25:00.000-07:002007-07-30T18:25:00.000-07:00I think they are both wonderful little quilts!

Just for the fun of it, I would try the tea bath. :> I agree with you about Finn, and some of the other quilt bloggers...I'm in awe of their talents AND their self-expression. Your church is beautiful!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386388066709376768noreply@blogger.com
