How do you Use an Unfinished Quilt?

Pin It

Do you use an unfinished quilt??

I do.....This is a hankie quilt I made a few years back and I use it as a table cloth not quilted and I love the look of it. Just turned over the edges and machine basted it. 



I'll never have them all quilted....

It's a Little Heart Quilt

Pin It

Heart Quilt with Applique Quilt measures approx. 20" x 20"


I'm moving quilts around again, my office is getting MORE and MORE to my liking, I just needed to add "ME" to the room !

I love applique and I spent many a day on a bleacher or in the car waiting for the boys to finish a practice appliqueing. This is one is hand appliqued and hand quilted.

Hearts are  the first things I learned to applique.

Pieced borders in a crazy patch design.

The back of the Quilt and a VERY strange Label ?

I'm doing a pattern for an eight year old's quilt. 
 Our Grand #1. - HERE
I, of course sometime in the process, had the thought, his has to be in a book too,

Brother's Grand #2's quilt is in 
"Get to the Center of It"  HERE

So, his has to be in one too  !  He has no idea, but you know me as Grandma?? Make everything fair.


 So, I  took the basic star and had  fun !


I had emails about the argyle fabric (corners), remember it's just fabric, 
"don't over think it !"






All layered, ready to put together !

A box of strips for a Log Cabin Quilt

Pin It
I'm doing my log cabins just a bit different this time.
Last time, see them all HERE - patterns for you ! 

I thought out all the colors and where they should go.

Well....not this time, I'm cutting strips 1 1/2" wide and just letting it all happen.

And, in the process I'm loving it. I'm not worrying about plaids matching, just cutting straight strips and letting them be !

It's been very freeing to not plan out every color and placement. 
Try it ! You may like it ! 
If you missed my first block here's a peek !
