Saturday at the Quilt Museum - I'm in the mood for blue! - Part 2

We're continuing with our look at blue quilts.  There are some stunning ones in store!

Oak Leaf
1844

Though not both oak leaf quilts, they have in common the same type of border.  You can read more about them at this link:

Fleur de Lis with Oak Leaf Border

Sweden

1860's

This one is stunning.  I wish we could see more of it.  The color is so pure.  This may need to go on my list!

Wandering Foot

1880's

I like how the alternate blocks in this one make a fun pattern of their own.

Snowflake Applique

Emily Allen Kain

York Co, Pennsylvania

1941

I saved this for last because it's just so amazing.  It was made in 1941, so is "young" and I love it!  What an amazing stitcher Emily must have been!

Thanks for joining us on our journey through "Blue"

Happy Quilting!
