What is a use it Quilt?

Use the Quilt or Not?

I had a questions, “What is a use it Quilt?” I mentioned this the other day and I’ve never talked about this before. My guide of which quilt to use?
I kind of grade my quilts, this yellow quilt was a gift, and this is the back of it! I made it to sleep under, use it, love it, wash and dry it.

These are the next step up quilts at my house, the hand quilted items I use  around my house. I love table toppers and have them all around. Most are machine pieced and I have hand quilted them.  But they are not washed daily and they are very much in original quality.

Then…used BUT only my me ~  “I” use it! and why? I don’t think my Great, Great Grandmother would want it in a closet, not loved and not used. PLUS, I cannot tell you the joy it gives me.

This is my Great-Great Grandmother’s quilt

Blue and White Quilt Block and Lots of Fun

Classic Blue and White Fabric Used

Nothing says happiness to me as much as a Quilt Block Pattern.  This is a pieced quilt block with a finished size of eight inches by eight inches. 

This quilt block, a patchwork star design. It consists of alternating patterns in shades of blue and white. The center comprises small squares arranged in a checkerboard pattern, surrounded by a larger star shape. The star’s points are made from triangular pieces with detailed patterns, adding texture and depth to the design.

For some reason this quilt block looks complicated and it’s not, maybe the simple quilt pieces or the 8″ x 8″ finished size?

Embracing Change While Staying True to Myself

Closing Facebook Page, BUT Still HERE on MY Site !

I am staying around, but making a change!Beth at The Quilt Ladies site
After my Facebook page was hacked, I have decided to close my Facebook account to focus on a more secure way to stay connected with you. Here at BethAnnDoing.com

I will be closing my Facebook page (or; they did it for me) as part of a new direction in letting go of what I cannot change.

This recent hack has made me understand that I need to slim things down, change back to what I like doing. I love sharing my quilts, quilt patterns, painting my pictures, photographing flowers and day to day with you all, not monitor others words, and opinions.

BUT this is not goodbye—it’s just a change in how we connect.
SEE MY BOOKS on Amazon and

You can still find me and stay updated through HERE at Bethanndoing.com  I am excited to continue sharing and engaging with you. I may continue with Instagram but only time will tell and only if I can link it back to BethAnnDoing.com. Remember, no staff, no helpers, just me !

I have also removed ad’s from other sources besides mine, meaning a link to amazon is to my book,  no google or any other ads, so purchase a quilt pattern! My Etsy Shop  My Books 

Please take a moment and sign up for an email when I have a new post here at BethAnnDoing.com. Top right on this page
This has rocked my world, I hope for the better and I think it will. MORE Coming: I have a new monthly quilt pattern coming soon, and the series will continue in 2025. I have started working on a quilt journal and a new book on how to survive pancreas surgery.
Again, Thank you all, I am still here, Beth Ann
and just because it what I do, here is one of my quilt block patterns for you to make. HERE
