Sweet Cottage Dreams ~ Mystery Quilt with 30s repro prints

Charming 1930s/40s handmade quilt in a soft color palette with pink scalloped edges. The pieces are similar to the bowtie shape but not exactly. It has so many great fabrics included in the design - novelties, goemetrics, florals and more. The condition is fair - there are a few pieces where the cotton batting is poking through. The scalloped edges are frayed. The cream colored backing is nice and clean. It measures 73" x 87" and is shown on a full size bed. It's very soft and worn-in. It's…

A few years ago i purchased a vintage quilt that i just love. It's totally scrappy, a bit tattered...but warm and snugly. And! A bit misleading when you look at it! It's made up of only 2 blocks...and not set on point! *Can you guess which blocks? *Answer: 4-Patch and Half Square Triangle blocks!...how easy is that? I decided it would be fun to write a freebie and share it in Christmas colors... Each block measures 2-1/2" Unfinished. Scrappy would be so easy to do....i know we all have lots…

Blooming In Chintz: Happy 2015!

is finished. I decided to try and baste this little quilt on my design wall, which turned out to be quite successful! I used some 9 patch blocks that I had sitting on the drawer for a zillion years for the backing. It saved me buying fabric, and used up MORE stuff. I pieced this quilt, using one of the new methods I read about online. I joined 4 squares together...a 4 patch. I made two of these, the placed them right sides together. I sewed around the 4 edges, then cut diagonally through…
