Every Quilt Has a Story

B. Annie Quilt Pattern Book

B. Annie Quilt Pattern is all about ME! I don’t say that a lot.
B. Annie Quilt Pattern BookB. Annie at the Etsy Shop
B. Annie in Print and eBook

This Quilt started with a simple Bear Paw quilt block and then drawing and drawing sixteen quilt blocks that took that simple block and made all sixteen mine. The quilt as always going to have white background, I love quilt lines on white fabric, pink of course that’s me, adding color with greens, red, in both solids and prints. The outside border is pieced with green square and triangle leaves.

Have you ever made a quilt and as each quilt block is finished you giggle at what you just did? This is how I felt as this quilt was going together, into a finished eighty-eight by eighty-four-inch quilt. Kind of Perfect. 
That’s my B. Annie quilt all about ME!  Should say that more, one of my faults? Maybe it’s just taking care of so many.

But this quilt is ME and MINE! B. Annie  Quilt

Quilter Tip:
As you lay out quilt blocks, take a digital photo and see what it will look like before sewing the blocks together. The picture takes you away from the quilt and you see prospective in your quilt block.

How “I” Mend an OLD Quilt – BethAnnDoing.com

From The Quilt Ladies

Re-post from 2018 and I still receive this email, I link them to this post. Please, remember these are NOT museum quality quilts, these are love quilts, that are washing, used and loved.

I receive an email like this monthly. LONG ago, when home with kids this is what I did. I repaired old quilt, PLEASE, remember this is NOT a quick project, but so worth your time, how to mend an old quilt.   She mentions in her email, that she removed pieces, I don’t do that. I make new pieces and applique to the top and or the quilt back, if you need binding, I do not remove the old, I sew new over it with fabric as close to the original as I can find. I like the idea of the old still being with the quilt….just me ! 

The Question: “I am trying to repair a quilt my mother made me for my wedding 48 years ago the bindings were torn from so much use as well as some of her beautiful star patches, I have separated the binding am not sure how to replace some triangle patches of her lone star quilt can you advise me I am a beginner have been watching a lot of videos decided I would start with this beautiful quilt that needs some fixing so I can hand it down to my daughter she adored her grandmother”  

How to Repair an OLD Quilt
I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do ! I am doing a 100% cotton quilt, usually from  1940-50’s THEY ARE NOT MUSEUM QUALITY QUILTS, THEY ARE LOVED AND USED QUILTS. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND DO NOT EMAIL YOUR NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT OLD QUILTS AND WASHING. I HAVE HEARD IT ALL.  That being said, really who wants to work on, use, repair or sleep under a dirty quilt??? These are LOVE quilts. 

 Three blocks in this quilt needed attention,
