Homemade quilts

Diposting oleh fawaid on Selasa, 23 Juni 2009

I've been wanting to make a quilt for about 14 years now, ever since my dad bought me my first antique quilt for Christmas when I was 11.

It's not that I'm a horrible procrastinator or am worried about the sewing, I just love quilts so much that I freeze when trying to decide what to make. A dear jane or a gee's bend? Ack! I want both.


I think I have finally, FINALLY decided on my first quilt. A patchwork of feed sacks that I've collected over the years. It should be quick and painless to put together and I won't have to agonize about picking out colors, which is half the battle.

Funnily enough, most 1930's quilts are made with recycled feed sacks, but with the sweet, floral version of these muslin ones.


If, no, when I finish this quilt, hopefully I'll be emboldened to move to to bigger and better ones. Crazies, yo-yos, postage stamps, oh lord, I'm turning into an old lady with alarming speed.
