Just a little while ago, I wrote about how exciting it is to find an exactly matching fabric when patching vintage and antique quilts. I told the stories of 6 times that has happened for me in nearly 40 years of repairing quilts.
And lo and behold, number 7 just happened!
The quilt in question is a 1930s Dresden Plate with what today is known as an ice cream cone border.
Not only is the fabric exact, but it is a piece taken out of an old quilt and very nearly the same shape as well.
And there is also a piece of the same print in blue on the quilt.
Such fun!
