Wonderful show and tell from last night's Prairie Women. Here are just a few of Becky B.'s incredible BB CW blocks:

Oh, I wish you could hear the wind blow outside. This is SO not Georgia :-) . Still more lush Show and Tell:
And now. Our group leader, Muriel P., was giving one of her Women in History talks to a quilt guild in Gwinnett County. A woman came up afterwards and gave her an enormous stack of antique quilt tops! Please excuse my poor photos but you can get the gist of the tops anyway:
very large Ohio stars...
the best of the lot, a very early "dressmaker's scraps" type of quilt top. Unfortunately, you can't see how interesting so many of the prints are:
Aren't they beautiful. And finally, our project for next month, should we choose to accept it lol:

lovely quilts. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful photo laden post. There is a single applique block in the post and then the piece at the end for next month. Are they wool applique or cottons? It is hard to tell from the pictures. Anyhow, they are wonderful.
Wonderful quilts and blocks, there are some very talented women in your group.
Great post............and I love those old quilt tops. That Ohio Star is talking to me.....
