War Quilts - 6

I hate it when they write "maker unkown" but that is the case with most of the quilts that were in this exhibition.

The central section was stunning and the use of the squares 'on point' must have been a nightmare to stitch.   (Love that butterfly in the middle.)

There is so much that is unknown about the making of this quilt but the mind can make up all kinds of senarios.  There are some wonderful ideas for flower applique.

And I was interested to see the little pattern of cut diamonds here and there.  I wonder if they were part of the uniform or added later?

It makes some of the wool applique we see today look a bit basic.

Goodness, yes. So intricate, so strikingly made.

These quilts are quite an eye opener.
