 I've always loved the styles of the 1950's, especially the Atomic Clock.  This quilt was created from an original drawing and machine pieced and appliqued.  My love of quilting began with a book on Amish quilts.  I like the challenge of using only solid fabrics in keeping with the Amish tradition. This quilt won a Judges Choice Award at the 2011 Maine Pine Tree Quilters show.

I really got a kick out of the electrical outlets in both of your quilts - and I love the coffee pot!

Thanks Dale!  Not sure why I'm fascinated with outlets - I hammered a nail in one when I was a little kid and got a bad shock - maybe that's it.

Thanks RemnantWorks - I like your little bird quilt, too - but, until now have been too shy to comment on anyone's work.

You have the 50's down perfectly with the objects and colors. Intriguing how you did just 3 sides with the pink border. And the shadows are great.
