Talk it Over Thursday – Great Quilt

My Quilt Begin

This is the quilt that started it all for me.

I had made pretty much all my clothes in high school, prom dresses to night gowns. After our boys arrived, I cross stitched and then moved to quilting. I started making quilted pillows first.
In 1984 we moved to Burlington, IA for Husband’s work and I went to a few quilt classes, auctions and was learning about quilting at every turn. I share this pin wheel quilt block this week too HERE

Great, Great Grandmother made My Mom a Pin Wheel Quilt

On a visit down to see us, my mother arrived with this quilt for me. As a child I’d never seen it, never heard anything about it.

Great, Great Grandmother made a Pin Wheel Quilt

My Great-great grandmother had made it for my mother. Mom remembers helping with cutting of the fabric and helped pump the sewing machine. It’s machine pieced and hand quilted.

The off blocks are done in a spider web quilt design.

The blocks are outline quilted

The edge and it’s tiny stitches.

This quilt is never used.

I have it out on a bed, I just like to looking at it and “I” do use it…All the time

Show me a Quilt – See it Saturday

Quilted Table Topper

When I was teaching, this is my beginner’s quilt 5 week class, the class would have used 2 1/2″ squares, I cut mine down for a table topper size, 1 1/2 inch squares. Machine pieced and hand quilted. HERE is my binding tutorial for you

On a regular size quilt, I would cut my binding strips 2 1/2″ wide, but on this little one, I cut them 1 1/4″ wide.

I like, little quilts to have little binding.

All the sewing is the same, 1/4″ seam allowance.

Tutorial on how to add quilt binding to a quilt.

But, I like to trim the backing and batting about in half.

This is before the binding is turned and sewn down. You can turn it under and see what you like before trimming around the entire quilt. I like to hand sew the binding down, I can get the corners, better and yes, you will have to mess with them a bit to get them perfect, they are VERY tiny.

The Before

The After

Have to LOVE hand quilting !
