One Block Wonders | If These Threads Could Talk

So, this is the Dining Room! Did I happen to mention “I love quilts”? Well I do, and I love them in the dining room. I make quilts for my dining room table. I have one Christmas and one for Summer but I needed one more. Last year I bought some Alexander Henry Fiesta fabric in 3 color ways. In case you didn’t know, Fiesta is dinnerware made by Homer Laughlin beginning in the 1930’s and is very collectible. I have some of the older pieces but my collection is mostly from 1995 to present.

I made some Fiesta fabric valances for the kitchen and Dining room.

Cream Background Fiesta Fabric

From the deep charcoal background I made a One Block Wonder (OBW) quilt for the table.

I used a repeat of the original fabric in the center of the quilt and surrounded it with OBW Hexagons. I’m not sure how I did it, but it came out pretty nice.

Quilts & Fiesta

I made this quilt in 2006

This wall hanging was a gift from a friend.

My sister makes beautiful, but unusual counted cross stitch.

I was searching Pinterest for different ways to store, show or hang quilts. If you haven’t checked out Pinterest for quilt storage you should, they have some wonderful ideas. The ones I really liked required carpentry, ain’t nobody got time for that! So I bought some curtain rods and went to work.

I had enough room for a 60″ rod and if I folded the quilts just right I could fit 3 on a rod and I had room for a 2nd tier. I showed this picture to a Facebook group call “One Block Wonder Quilt Forum” and they loved it so I thought I would share it you too!
