More Black Border Quilts

This is a quilt I`ve had for quite a few years. It wasn`t bought at the same time as the two quilt tops but I believe from the same place. It`s a bit smaller than the others and the only one with any obvious quilting.

I say quilting.......

Possibly 'running wild with the sewing machine' would be a better description.

.

Managed to get some of the lines to meet!



I`m not sure if this quilting is actually contemporary with the rest of the quilt or if someone else decided that it`s a quilt, it must have quilting.

Again, the black material shows the same mix of dull and satin, plain and textured.

Can anyone else help with dating the patterned fabrics? I thought they had a 1920`s to 1930`s feel to them but I would welcome any help. I can take more shots of the fabrics and publish them soon.

Duh!

The quilts would look even more like each other if I had remembered to post the picture of the new quilt back!

New quilt

I recently bought this very striking quilt on eBay.  The design seemed to be very similar to a pair of quilt tops that I bought several years ago.

 When I had a chance to examine the new quilt closely,  I could see that there were also similarities in the style of the materials as well.

The quilts seem to be constructed from light weight dress fabrics, I`m not sure of the dates but they look 1920`s in style to me. Could anyone else  help with dates?



The black material that forms such a bold part of the design is also unusual. Some of it has a satin sheen, some is patterned and on each of the pieces there are stamped marks present on the fabric....

I had thought that the quilter had used old wartime blackout material, but it does seem very flimsy and I don`t think that it would be very effective at all.

I also have another, smaller quilt which is very similar and I will try to post pictures when I find it.

Are the quilts all made by the same quilter, maybe someone working in the garment industry using up scraps of fabric?  Or was there a fashion for this style of quilt at the time?
