More Conversationals from 19th Century swatches (arrows to berries and 'cheater')

I've been away for a couple of weeks and have been mostly posting pics from my quilt top.  I thought I'd post a few more from the swatches--I think these are new to you (frankly, there may be duplicates previously posted since I'm not always good about moving the pictures to 'posted to blog' folders!)

How interesting those are! Something like the weapons would sit on the shelf today, except for a few of us, but there are others that would look great in a contemporary quilt, too. Thanks for sharing. I hope you've been having some fun.

Oh Yummy! I love the cheater print. I love the stein too, I've never seen one before. I do have the fly in a reproduction do you? I did find something over the weekend that I will get out to you tomorrow. Some old printouts of conversationals and two blue background pieces. Thanks for sharing these wonderful prints!
