From a Christie's Auction All the comments have inspired me to do another post on the free-form/unconfined applique style to mention three points. Hexagon center with a border of Portuguese stripe chintz and outer borders of free-form applique. [The Portuguese stripe alternates floral containers and exotic birds---popular chintz in the 1825-1850 period.] From an online auction 1) I have been focusing on style---I study these quilts in photographs so I rarely notice the stitches that hold down the shapes. But I now know, thanks to all the commenters, that in many the free-form applique shapes are secured with a herringbone stitch, often done over raw edges. Herringbone stitch explained here: https://www.stitchpiecenpurl.com/herringbone-stitch.htm Americans used herringbone stitch in their crazy quilts after 1880---but that is a different style. Herringbone stitch barely visible in the photo \ British quilt from the Poos Collection with a free form center Many of the applique quilts with good detail photos seem to be stitched down with conventional applique stitches, however. So the stitch doesn't define the style; it's linked to it. Looks like a regular hidden applique stitch on this tile quilt from Jane Lury & David Hupert. Another associated style characteristic is rather random shapes of chintz ---cabbage left over from other projects? Tile style. Bedcovering from India. I don't know date or source but the style is familiar (and quite appealing.) 2) The unconfined appliqued style seems to me to come directly from Indian applique style. Indian applique, circa 1930---similar work being done today From India through many European threads of needlework tradition British bedcover from Kerry Taylor Auctioneers 1852 signed Lucy Hasell (?) Age 62 Wish I knew the source of this one. 3) There are some early-19th-century quilts fairly reliably attributed to the U.S. in similar style. Ann Robinson's quilt in the Shelburne Museum I've done a couple of posts on the American versions. http://quilt1812warandpiecing.blogspot.com/2012/10/conventional-applique-in-calicoes.html http://quilt1812warandpiecing.blogspot.com/2012/10/style-unconfined-applique.html It's all a good excuse to post more pictures, which may inspire some people to take on just one more new project. It looks like the prep time for the applique is minimal, Wendy. You cut out the shape; you toss it onto some background. You stitch it down. I may take it up myself. And as I write this I realize I have---but I have been turning the edges under. More tomorrow. Here's one that Julie Silber showed---she's the one who started the whole discussion. The border looks to be rather free-form Dated 1874, for John Adkins, Maryland quilt in the DAR Museum. http://www.quiltindex.org/basicdisplay.php?kid=46-7A-79 1844, Durham, center of a patchwork field From the collection of the British Quilters Guild Similar center from one in Woodard & Greenstein's inventory. More tomorrow on this one. Documented in the South Africa project From the Quilt Index See many details of this one at the Copake Auction site. Sold in America. The applique IS confined to blocks of sorts, so it may be a British-American hybrid. https://copakeauction.hibid.com/lot/7683827/quilt/

I recently came across the Nordic Barnhouse Project (in Denmark) on Instagram via one of my favourite Swedish design bloggers, Frida Ramstadt of Trendenser. Frida mentioned the architect, Bruno Jakobsen recently won the Randers Municipality's Architecture Award 2021 for the project. The home is also the architect's residence. Loving the open spaces that face into a courtyard, and the windows that open up to the surrounding forest. “The main focus throughout the design is the actual looking out into the woods. No matter where you are, it’s always in view,” says Bruno Jakobsen, architect. The earthy tones, black roofs and
