I’m always on the look out for old quilts and IF I think I can save them I purchase. They have to be washable and usable, nothing better, no matter the temperature is a quilt to cuddle in.
This is a recent purchase !
There was 3 blocks that needed attention,
I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out
VERY nice, they usually do !
I like making a paper temple for the applique piece I’m adding
Try to make it exact and add seam allowance at the time of cutting (it’s easier to do this way)
This is the same fabric, one is the right side
and one it the back side
Add the seam allowance and cut out piece
Fold down the point and press
Fold the sides over, I like to press everything and I use the tip of the small scissors to hold as the fabric will get HOT !
Applique the pink down
I do hand quilt them too, it completes the look and makes it VERY hard to find the new piece.
There are 3 baskets I fixed on this quilt
Can you find them ?
