How to Mend an Old or Damaged Quilt with The Quilt Ladies

Go Step by Step to Repair an Old Quilt

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 ?

Sixteen quilt pattern used to make this 88″ x 84″ quilt top

I design and make a lot of quilts. And, just like children, you shouldn’t have a favorite….BUT I do.

It’s this quilt, my B. Annie Quilt Pattern.

When you walk into your bedroom and see this quilt on the bed, your heart will skip a beat. The quilt blocks are set in white with a pieced leave border to bring the quilt all together. The Bear Paw pattern has been redesigned into Sixteen different quilt blocks, each with a finished size of Fourteen by fourteen inches. The quilt will be 88” x 84” finished size.

I had never done a quilt before that was just me! From the colors to the pattern, it is all me. I hear it a bit now, it’s a very feminine quilt, SO WHAT. A bear paw quilt pattern is so traditional and using it as my base, each quilt block took on its own personality. B. Ann Quilt Pattern

How to Choose Fabric from a Picture

How to choose fabric for my B. Ann Quilt, it’s simple.

This may seem a bit strange, but I love the colors in this dress, it’s from a Vogue magazine probably 2-3 years ago, (LOVE IT) and it’s how I picked the colors for my quilt Pattern Book

Can you see it?

The purples, the pink/red sleeve, the green top

And a White added for the white Chair !

I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the attention this post received and I’m pleased to show you it really works !

This is one of the quilt rows,

choosing fabrics this way !

The only color that just didn’t work for me was the black belt and I couldn’t find anything I liked, so I just left it off.

(Note: when piecing the blocks the dark green took the place of the black)

If you’d LIKE the pattern – HERE it is

Here’s a look at one of the 16 blocks !

It worked !

Self-Binding Quilt Tutorial

Self Binding means: Bring the quilt backing to the front and using it as your binding.

I bring this over from The Quilt Ladies, this post is used and asked for all the time, Thank you for that. Check out my Etsy Shop of all MyQuilt Patterns

Just a few days ago I received this comment on my original post: from Helen:

After reading the tutorial 3 times I committed to try the technique.

It worked perfectly. I just followed the instructions and it worked

on a table runner. This method stops so much waste of material.

Step by Step How to do Self Binding on a Quilt

Make your quilt block, add batting heat resistant, and quilt. Trim the batting even with your quilt top

Cut one backing 1″ from the quilt edge

Fold the backing to the edge of the quilt, 1/2″, I like to press it down

Again, fold the backing over onto the quilt top, make sure you are on the quilt top with the edge, this is your sewing edge, pin it down

Fold the corner over as shown

And then do the steps as before, fold over half way and then fold over half way again. Pin well.

Sometimes at the corner, you will have to move it around a bit to make the corner perfect, go slow and pin well.

When I get it like, I like, pin and I press a bit, between pins and at the corner it holds it just a bit better. Remember, pressing is up and down with an iron. Doing it up and down your fabric will not stretch or move.

With your machine sew along the backing edge, do a few back stitches to hold ends

I like doing 2 rows of stitching, just my personal like.
