The Barn Quilt Capitol Of The World Is Tucked Into Wisconsin http://dlvr.it/SCnGkt

Complete with seven little mystery fishies it’s finally time for #QuiltRCode Episode 21! . . Credit for spotting this week’s modified Come Sail Away Quilt Square goes to the lovely @ashley.whyte . . Located on the side of Net Shed Museum in Meldrum Bay, this sneaky and slightly #asymmetrical #quiltblock is now the official top contender for The Island’s most westerly #barnquilt . . #ComeSailAway . . #Styx . . #Enya . . #quiltersofinstagram . . #Museums . . #ManitoulinIsland (at Meldrum Bay, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyfHWkl-eX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aw shit! Had a somewaht busy weekend and forgot to post this week’s #quiltsquare which is one of a trio from the western approach to Kagawong. . . Since this square features a combination of squares and triangles with 4 sets of 4 points it seemed appropriate for #QuiltrCode episode 16. . . Unfortunately, even after extensive research I wasn’t able to identify this #barnquilt with 100% accuracy. . . But discovered that it appears to be a variation of the Union Square quilt block. . . Itself one of many variations of the classic Ohio Star quilt square. . . I also found an alternative reference which identified this pattern as a #Honeymoon #quiltblock . . However, both Honeymoon and Union Square do not typically feature mirrored second triangles for the middle points. . . Seen here in the same light blue as the main centre square of the classic design. . . Which officially leaves this as at least a semi #mysteryquilt block. . . #quiltersofinstagram . . #16tons . . #Manitoulin . . #ManitoulinIsland . . #Kagawong . . #nyc (at Kagawong, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/COLv09DlDS6/?igshid=qzh1stu1uigb

Quilting A Mystery - Had a lovely chat with the proud owner of this #quiltblock from Heart’s Home near Tehkummah who came out with her daughter and dog to make sure it was straightened for my picture taking and documentation. . . The owner told me that she was careful to care for her #quiltsquare by applying a fresh coat of varnish each season to maximize preservation. . . I applauded her dedication, as I have now documented several warped, damaged and degraded #barnquilt specimens across the Island. . . What I regret is asking her if she knew the block’s name or identification? . . As I just spent over 2 hours sorting through no less than a couple thousand quilt block and #hexsign specimens without finding a pattern that fully matches the tri-colour simplicity of this unusual diagonal lozenge design. . . So if you’re a #quilter or into #quilts and happen to know what this square is, please let me know in the comments below! . . Hope you enjoyed #QuiltRCode episode 15! . . #homeiswheretheheartis . . #Manitoulin . . #ManitoulinIsland (at Tehkummah, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0Uby5lS2w/?igshid=ya8t222gyvz5

Didn’t capture a great pic of this quilt square from the base of Nineteen Hill outside of Silver Water. . . But thought it’s loving Hen and Chick motif was perfect for #QuiltrCode Episode 12. . . Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to turn up any particulars regarding this block’s unconventional design. . . By, as far as I am aware, it is the most westerly #barnquilt on #manitoulinisland . . A title which I had previously believed belonged to the Elizabeth Bay Fishes Block from Episode 8. . . Be sure to let me know of any quilt blocks hidden further to the west, as I am surprised to have found none to date in the Meldrum region. . . #poultry . . #eggs . . #dozen (at Silver Water, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5uRqaFLxC/?igshid=wutil3vj4ky1
