      It really is! More than 150 years later and it is still beautiful.

    You are a great story teller. I wonder if she became ill or even died before she could finish this amazing quilt.

      Thank you for the compliment. The quilt is amazing. I would be proud to have that on a bed in my home.

    It is beautiful. I love the balance of the colours and their combination. It's bright yet subtle and calming. Tiny squares too. I made a small bag of 1" squares many years ago and it was fiddly!

      It is a beautiful quilt. The flowers are 3 dimensional which I forgot to mention. There is a bit of 'poof' in them.

    Catchy title. The math of quilting makes me think of how women used cookbooks for reading. Just like an unfinished symphony, the mystery captivates us.

      It is a mystery, I wish I knew who made it and why it was not completed. Maybe there is not much of a story to it, but I was very intriguing.

    Great mystery storytelling. How did the quilt get in the museum collection?

    I am not familiar with quilting but I do not understand how is it not finished?

      She has not finished doing the final stitching and the bindings.

  • @bobporche4
    @bobporche4 6 месяцев назад +1

    Do they plan to complete the quilt or will they let a piece of it remain unfinished?

    • @colleenunvarnished
      @colleenunvarnished  6 месяцев назад

      I believe the intent is to finish the quilt, including binding. I don't remember if the volunteer told me what would happen with the quilt.

    Could be the maker was ill or died and unable to finish this.

      Illness and death were not on my mind for this. Thanks for sharing.

      @@colleenunvarnished Illness/death occurred to me, too. My mother planned to make a quilt for each of her 3 daughters, but died before completing one for my youngest sister..
