Saturday at the Quilt Museum - Lady of the Lake, Part 1

So, as usual, a quilt caught my eye and I was off on a search for more of the same pattern!  The clear blue is so striking in this first one.

Lady of the Lake
New York
1870
71" x 88"

Isn't this just beautiful?  Check out the detail shot below.  The quilter used plain, unpieced blocks for the centers.  It makes it look more like an Ocean Waves pattern that way.

This was found at one time on the Stella Rubin Antiques website.

Lady of the Lake

1880's

A treasure of old fabrics!  Wouldn't you love to see this one in person?

Lady of the Lake
Virginia
1840
98 1/2" 98 1/2"

This is a big one!  I love the soft colors of it and how the quilter set the blocks.

Lady of the Lake
Contemporary work

This one struck me because of the sashing between the blocks.  It gives it a mosaic feel somehow.

Apparently Homestead Hearth had a pattern for this at one time.

Next week we'll keep going on Lady of the Lake Quilts!
