Day 8 - A Month of Antique Quilts - Antique Red and Green Crib Quilt

 Thanks again for visiting my blog. Here's a small treasure for you. 
Such a charming antique crib quilt with a center Lily, Tulip, or Peony block (goes by many names). 

Great chintz borders too. Starley quilt collection.

Here's a close-up of two of the fab fabrics. Click on the photo to see it close-up. The green is a two-step dye (yellow + blue = green) and in several spots the yellow has gone away leaving blue. The red is a Turkey Red - a fabric which required many steps to create.
