My Paisley Quilt

Maybe Old, But Perfect

Today is “Ask a Stupid Question Day” so the questions is, “Do you like paisley?”
OF COURSE, I love paisley fabric and this is my vacation quilt. It’s a perfect size to pack and take with me. I like a bit of home when I travel and this is my go to quilt. 
I used a very different palette of colors and patterns, it’s just fun.
Some times, it’s nice to cuddle in a quilt no matter what the temperature is outside. This quilt is washed and dried all the time, it’s soft and lovable.
Paisley Quilt

It’s a very simple pattern, a 2 inch center square and then just log cabin around the outside with 1 inch strips. It’s the paisley fabrics that give it all the movement and fun ! 

Paisley Quilt

The finished size is a square 50″ x 50″ a good size for curling up on the couch. It machine pieced and I used a 100% cotton batting and hand quilted.

Hankie Shirt

From Back of Closet to Wearing

I have been working on a hankie shirt. I purchased these hankies a few years ago and I’ve been seeing clothing using them (Pinterest) and I decided to give it a try. This is an old…Old Navy all cotton shirt, which I haven’t worn in a bit. It’s also one of the shirts from our overseas trip last year and I took a carry-on for 18 days and I wore it a LOT !

I haven’t been able to sit at my sewing machine for along time. It’s right there…but I sit down and I just can’t do it. And right now that has to be OK ! So, my shirt is hand stitches and hand quilted (top stitched). I laid it out on the dining room table and didn’t put it away. The idea was see it, do it. It worked !

Beginning cotton shirt

I used a total of 4 hankies, washed and ironed. I cut and appliqued each down and then hand quilted around the outside edge.

Added Hankie to front

Removed top stitching and cut down center and added hankie, stitched and top stitched.

This is my finished shirt. Only thing I would change is not adding to the side seams, it was not needed. I added a tuck or dart to fix it, or so you can’t see my bra !

And before  you ask, You can use a sewing machine !  And, yes I really am that brown, Florida baby !  I wear sunscreen and now a swim shirt, (the one I wear)  Sun hat too (the one I wear)
