Mending an Old Quilt – How to do It

Making a Quilt A Bit Better

This is a post from about four years ago, how I mend quilts. Mending a quilt is not hard, it does take a bit of time from finding the right fabric to the hand work.

At this time of the year quilts seem to go from family member to family member and please don’t over look taking a quilt, bindings can be replaced (will share soon) and patches made. Here is my applique to mend an old quilt tutorial.

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 !

See all Beth Ann’s Quilt Books in Print here
The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop here

There are 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 ?
