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 !

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 ?

All Quilter’s Have a First Quilt

First Quilt Made – The Quilt Ladies

This is My first quilt
In the early 1980’s we moved to Burlington, Iowa, it’s in the southeastern corner of the state on the Mississippi River and yes, I learned how to spell Mississippi. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop

I had done some quilt blocks, some pillows and then I saw in the paper a class being hosted by the local quilt group. I remember it being expensive and how I agonized over it for days. but, finally signed up.

The teacher was “Liz Porter” at the time she worked for one of the magazines, Better Homes maybe, but is was a wonderful day and I learned so much.

Tutorial How I do my Squares

It was a color class which meant nothing to me at the time, looking at the quilt today I didn’t get the whole idea. Liz brought letters to add to each quilt to identify, I used my initials.

Hand quilting was so relaxing to me, I had no frame, just a dining room table, pinned it very well and quilted. I checked out library books on how to do everything. The quality of books we have now is crazy different from then.

I was approached to join the quilt group after the class. I think I was a rarity in the group a “new” member. I remember being laughed at when they saw my round corners (months later) on the quilt. I love these corners. This is my quilt, I curl up under it daily, it’s washed all the time and it’s just over 43 years old. It’s never looked better to me.

And, if you are in the group in Burlington, IA. I’d love to hear from you ! !
