Done! This quick finish turned out quite well after all! For a while there, I wasn’t sure about the colors. This is definitely outside of my wheelhouse.
This is adapted from a pattern by Barbara Blackman called The Lincoln Museum Quilt. My blocks are smaller than hers.
I kept the quilting very simple.
The backing is Kona Stone.
Have a great day!
I found a little bin of 2 inch cream squares. I decided to pair them with Civil War Repro squares to make four patches as a leader/ender project.
I used up all the solid squares and ended up with around 120 four patches.
I cut some triangles to put them on point.
I guess that is my next phase of the leader/ender process!
Have a great day!
I’ve finished my blocks! They were so much fun to make.
Now I’m trying to decide on the background blocks.
I’m not in love with any of these. Guess I’ll keep shopping in my stash. Have a great day,
I sorted all my pieces into block sets.
I even have over half sewn. They go together pretty fast.
So far, I’m not in love. Maybe I just need to get more blocks finished.
Have a great day!
I’ve had a quilt on my bucket list for a while and decided this FQ bundle should be perfect for it.
After my calculations, I decided I had just enough to make the quilt I wanted with pretty much nothing leftover. These are the dies I used.
I wasn’t quite as careful as I should have been and ended up piecing scraps together for a few pieces. That’s okay. I really did end up with nothing but tiny bits too small to keep after cutting!
I should end up with 42 ten inch blocks for a quilt that will be. 60” by 70”.
Stay tuned!
This month has flown by! I’ve been busy, busy with sewing, grands, and home stuff. I did manage to finish this for a friend.
I played with pixels.
Finished a little quilt, cut out earlier this summer.
Still thrilled with this little bit, made from vintage fabrics.
My favorite finish has to be this postage stamps quilt, called Pen Pals.
Have a great day!
There were several displays of guild challenges at the recent AQS show. Here are my favorites.
So much creativity! Have a great day!
It’s done! This was a very satisfying finish.
It’s been in my head for years and I’m glad I finally made it. The fabrics are all vintage.
This backing fabric came from the stash of my Great Aunt Celia. She died in 2016, just shy of her 100th birthday.
She never married after her fiancé was tragically killed in a boating accident. She was a school teacher. She built her own home and sewed her own clothes. She was quite stylish.
The binding fabric is from a vintage apron that was never finished.
I was going to get fancy with the quilting, but the quilt said, no.
Have a great day!
That’s my working title for this quilt.
I absolutely love this. It will be small, but it looks exactly like the picture in my head. I so love the vintage fabrics. It is inspiring me to finally cut into my feedsack collection.
I think I have about 50 different sacks in total, less than half are shown above. I need to find the perfect pattern to show them off.
Off to Pinterest! 😁 Have a great day!
I’ve wanted to make this quilt for a very long time. I even had most of the pieces cut! I finally buckled down and cut out the green background bits. It only took about ten minutes. I don’t know why I waited so long.
The squares are all vintage fabrics. This next photo shows where I’m headed here.
It won’t be a very big quilt, because I emptied my bin of these scraps. But I will be able to scratch this off the bucket list and I’m having a ball sewing this up!
Have a great day!
