My Great-Great Grandmother Made a Quilt – Simple and Perfect

This quilt is my empowerment. This quilt started me on a ride that I’ve been on for over 40 years, quilting. So today, I’m share my FAVORITE quilt !

My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it my, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it. I never met her and my mom only remembers helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright.

The hand quilting on this quilt is WONDERFUL

I use these needles, sometimes a larger one and sometimes not. After doing them I really think it’s how I feel that day !

I like to use, “Peaches and Cream” yarn, soft but NOT TOO soft, it has to be to hold the knot.

How to tie a quilt using yarn

I like my cutting mat UNDER the quilt, so I don’t push through and chip my table top.

Cut yarn about 30 inches long one thickness.

From the side you will see the knot, go down and up, going though, top, batting and backing.

Pull needle through, leave about a 2 inch tail form the first knot.

Come back through again,
How to tie a quilt using yarn DO NOT cut yarn, travel to next knot and repeat.

Cut yarn

How to tie a quilt using yarn I do all the knots and then cut them all at the same time.

As I tie each one, I lay the yarn going down.

Cut ends to about 1/2″ to 3/4″ is way YOU like

Make a Quilt Block Pattern using ONLY Squares with Beth Ann

When new to quilting I always say, “It’s only a square.” Start with a quilt block using Squares. Don’t over think it, it’s a square. Here is my how to link for making squares, using freezer paper, I never think purchasing a cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter in the first thing you need to purchase for quilting. Have a working sewing machine, good sewing thread and the best 100% cotton fabric you can afford. AND ALWAYS ASK AROUND, friends will loan you a sewing machine, most will help with threading it, teaching you to sew a straight line, it can become an adventure

I cut 3 colors of fabric for ONE Nine Patch quilt block you will NEED,

CUT 9 – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares How to make squares

Here are the combinations I came up with. It’s only a square and you can make a quilt block.
