How to Mend an Old Quilt – Beth Ann Doing

I receive an email like this about three times a month. 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.

The Question: “I am trying to repair a quilt my mother made me for my wedding 48 years ago the bindings were torn by 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 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,

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 sideAdd 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 and I hand quilted with white thread.

There are 3 baskets I fixed on this quilt

Can you find them ?

January Fun Time Quilt Pattern for YOU

Here is a Complete quilt pattern for you. I think it’s a fun quilt because of the colors and the black making it pop. Over the next few days you will be able to make the quilt as shown below. This quilt LOOKS hard BUT it’s just triangles.

I cut 3 7/8″ blocks to make my triangles, you can cut any size you would like. I made and quilted this quilt YEARS ago and I have used it as a table topper, a front door quilt and as a lay over the back of the couch quilt for color. My quilt has a finished size of 30 inches by 30 inches.
