Continuing with my visit to the Gloucester County Historical Society Museum, see my original post .
Here are a few more quilts,  think scrappy!  its all about the fabrics isn't it???
I just love this postage stamp quilt , 1" squares , 11,664 squares . An Amazing quilt.
It was such a beautiful quilt. I wish it was opened up and hanging for us to see, I can only imagine how graphic it was with the red  solid diagonal rows , stunning.

the next quilt is in the NJ Quilts 1777 to 1950 Contributions to an American Tradition, the documentation book .
I found this quilt so interesting to see in person, they used grey as a neutral, which seems to be a big trend right now!, and a tan/caramels on the other side.  The quilt is beautiful and I was thrilled to see it in person after studying it for years in the book, yes that page is earmarked for me to make a quilt inspired by this one.

someday.!  Look at the center a bit different then the way we usually make this style quilt today.  I will have to recreate mine like she did , Its what makes the quilt interesting to me..
did you notice the center was elongated?
Here is another scrappy quilt which was another great fabric study...

It was such a joy to see these antique quilts in person if your anywhere near Woodbury NJ make the trip.  Tell Kathy I said hi!   I have decided to go back I need to see the quilt I will blog about next again.  I need to take more pictures of the fabrics in it.  I was just in awe of her fabric combinations....have I spiked your interest?
