Anyway, she has a couple of interesting posts about hexagons . . . and I was just blown away by a picture of a quilt by Mr Albert Small's quilt from about 1935 . . .
This is his first quilt. The hexagons are 1/2" and it took him 14 months. Not bad for a first attempt!!!
It seems he was quite industrious when it came to hexagons (among other things) and the NUMBERS, the MIND-BOGGLING NUMBERS had my head spinning.
Check out this link for an interesting story about a man who rose to the challenge of his wife's quilting group!
Glad you've found Barbara Brackman's blog. Her blog is one of my favorite too - Love the quilt - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteHow amazing is this quilt. I don't think I would have the patience. Thanks for your comment on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteI went and had a look at the website. Absolutely amazing quilts. He must have had OCD to keep making them - unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered Barbara Brackman's blog too and have already learnt some very interesting things about hexagons.
