Old Quilts. not mine --Nora's restaurant in DC

Alan Thompson, George's brother, arranged a meal for George & me & him at Nora's in D.C.

George & I have been devouring the books of Ruth Reichl recently so we were primed for an awesome restaurant that cooks with as-pure-as-possible food.

Nora's really fit that bill.  But also delicious were Nora's quilt collection.  Oh goodness.  Nora has an EYE!!!

This one is old Amish. 
I feel another triangle surge coming on for me!!

Then... & still Amish.. in velvets & tied, not quilted...


Also an unusual distorted hexagon quilt, also Amish with velvets....

Wonderful  "crazy quilts" = fancy fabrics + unusual patterning + stitching embellishments






 I think of this one as an old fashioned game board.


And the ones below Amish fancies, with velvets. Unusual work, except the third one which is classic Amish.



THANKS, Alan, for the great Nora Outing with fabulous quilts & food.

That's it for now.
