This is the simple quilt pattern block I made that inspired my book. I took a simple quilt block and changed each block, based on this Bear Paw quilt, which was a gift to my Mom, years ago.
I have been working on My State Quilt Patterns for a bit now and I hope you are enjoying them. Each quilt block has a finished size of fourteen inches by fourteen inches.
Husband and I like to do projects. Well….maybe I like them more than he does, BUT he’s a good sport and he’s up to helping and doing with me. Pantry storage ideas are all over Pinterest. After a trip to the Container Store and showing him what I wanted, Husband jumped in.
Our pantry door was a bi-fold door. Husband took the top ring off and made it a swing out door, glued in the fold and top/bottom plates added.
A magnetic stopper was added to the inside of the door and a magnet to the door itself.
Plans drawn up and a trip to Lowes and construction began.
I had a questions, “What is a use it Quilt?” I’ve never talked about this before. I kind of grade my quilts, this yellow quilt was a gift, and this is the back of it! I made it to sleep under, use it, love it, wash and dry it.
This is one of my use it quilts, it’s from an auction about 30 years ago, it’s still lovely. It’s all the hand quilting, the batting has held up very well. Right now it’s folded on a chair in our living room and I use it all the time.
These are the next step up, used hand quilted items around my house. I love table topper and have them all around. Most are machine pieced and I have hand quilted them. But they are not washed daily and they are very much in original quality.
This is the quilt our Grand’s were sleeping under the other day in my post. It’s made using old hankies that I backed with muslin, I always do this, they seem to need the extra support. Then just simple strips and squares in the corners and I tied it. This quilt is from our time in Nebraska and it has double batting in it and it’s a use it quilt.
This is my quilt pattern design for the State of Oklahoma, it has a finished size of fourteen inches by fourteen inches. The quilt pattern is done is squares and triangles and all straight piecing. Oklahoma Quilt Block Pattern is HERE for you
They are NOT this size any MORE, they are young men now and this was one of their favorite things to do, watch TV in Grandma and Grandpa’s bed, and sleeping under Grandma’s quilts.
Of course they had to pick a quilt, a show to watch, they would arrange pillows to have the perfect angle to watch and it’s strange it was always about nap time when this all happened ?? Grandparents rule !
The quilt they are sleeping under is the first hankie quilt I ever made, it’s very simple, hankies lined with muslin, straight sashing and borders, and I tied it. I still have and use this quilt, last time it was washing I had to do a lot of repair, the hankies not wearing very well and it’s getting old too !
It was one of the hardest things to do a few years ago to change myself up and start doing…what I like, love and need to do. www.bethanndoing.com was born. To figure myself, my work, my life and my art all out. NEVER say NEVER !
