*** Virginia Quilt Museum Quilt Along Pattern is ready!***

It started with an antique quilt that I saw shared from the Virginia Quilt Museum.  I loved it and showed my friend Wendy Sheppard.. she loves it too!  We wrote to the Museum Director to see if they would like us to do a Quilt along with a pattern to raise funds for the museum.. she said yes!

The Original quilt information:

Mary Spitzer Etter of Harrisonburg, Virginia donated her family's entire quilt collection to the Virginia Quilt Museum in 1997. The collection contain 27 quilts, most of which were made by Mary's aunts, the Spitzer sisters. Their names were Sarah Josephine Spitzer (Walters), Margaret Melinda Spitzer (Jones), and Ellen Rebecca Spitzer. It is unknown if the other two Spitzer sisters, Hannah Spitzer (Brown) and Jane Spitzer (Evers), did much quilting. Of the quilts completed by the Spitzer sisters, there is a single initial embroidered on the front of quilt to mark who made each quilt. Ellen Spitzer's daughter, Irene, also completed three pieces of the collection. Some of the quilts contain blocks that were done by Mabel Spitzer, Mary's mother. These blocks were then quilted by either Berta or Effie Long, Mabel's neighbors. There are a few quilts not made by a Spitzer, yet they were still made by relatives of the Spitzer family.

This is a PERFECT scrappy quilt! Wendy's blocks are amazing in all shades of blue and cream

look how gorgeous they are!

I will be sewing along with you using my Sleepover fabric!
