Tuesday quilt project Aug 30

Well school has started up for me again so it's pretty busy now.  Here though is a quilt top in progress.  It is based on a quilt top I saw for sale on ebay, as I have mentioned in a previous post.  I can't afford it, so I am making a copy.  No I don't have a pattern, as I am winging this based on photographs.

There will eventually be 5 columns of scrappy squares, separated by plain fabric.

I am linking up with Connie at Freemotion by the River and Quilt Story as I do most weeks I have porjects to share. Both blog hops have pictures of pretty quilt blocks and other projects.

Tuesday quilt: Christmas/winter quilt

This quilt I have made quickly - a new start for this year.  It is for our our departing minister.

I started with a jelly roll of Hoffman fabrics, and some yardage to round out the jelly roll and add for borders.  The pattern is a free pattern (called Simply Strips) for jelly roll quilts, available on Craftsy.

Tuesday Quilt Project Aug. 9

Now that the big quilt is quilted, I have turned to another project of interest.
I have collected feedsacks and vintage fabric for some time and I have finally started cutting them up for a reproduction project.
I saw a quilt on line - on ebay - a vintage 1930's or 1940's quilt that I could not afford, but I really liked the pattern.  It had five columns of small squares of scrappy fabrics.  White fabric in between.  Below is the beginning of the version I am making.

That is my craft room carpet!  Imagine these columns longer, and against white fabric.  I have quite a ways to go on this!  Luckily I have a large array of vintage fabric, and I have cut many many two inch fabric squares.

Tuesday quilt: Well worn antique quilt

Today I do not have a new quilt project for you, but I am sharing an antique quilt I bought at an antique fair recently.  It is from the mid to late 1800's I am guessing.  The red, pink, and green fabrics have held up but the brown fabrics are mostly shattered.

And a close up:

More on my current project.
