Two more quilts made using Classic Conversationals

Temecula Quilt Company had these on their blog.  Wish I'd seen them back in 2008!
First picture is the 'cheater' cloth in the line (I do have this one) and first quilt is made with this (the 16 patch blocks), sew clever! Second quilt uses Judie's Classic Conversationals and Inkwell.  What beautiful quilts.
 

I'll be starting Eleanor Burns' Block Party on the 7th of July.  We're doing 'vintage' quilts from her collection.  She has an online version too--she'll show several antique quilts and then share how tos on one or two eah month.  Can't wait.  I'll probably use some of my 1800s conversationals in them!  (and I promise to blog about something besides 19th Century Conversationals!)  A few more pictures of the Classic conversational line:

Won two auctions today

I won two auctions toady:
First one was a 1/2 yard of Antique Conversationals by RJR (Judie R. also did this, in fact auction may be wrong and it might be hers!)
 
 
The other auction was for 10 Fat Quarters of Classic Conversationals and Antique Conversationals

WooHoo!  While I have small pieces of two of these and FQ or 1/2 yds of a few others, 6 of these are new to me (and some of those I'd never seen before!)

We need more of these!!!
