This is the quilt that greeted us!

Our gracious hostess

The theme of this meeting was one patch designs.  Barb Garrett opened the meeting by showing us a quilt she had made as a newlywed in 1967 and was still using.  She then proceeded to dazzle us with other one patch quilts and tops she had collected.

Other quilts we saw that day included yo-yo's, grandmothers flower gardens, braids and nine patches.

One quilt came with a family letter describing the design we have come to know as Thousand Pyramids as a "smoothing iron"

More quilts:

This one is in the process of being restored.	the look on Barb's face is priceless:-))	just half square triangles	A 30's orange peel design

Bought as a cutter quilt, this pomegranate quilt is being restored.  The nurse among us pointed out that it was anatomically correct.
