Category: Quilts and quilting

Blue jean patches, scrappy, fringe curtains, 60 inches, in an 80 inch boxed window.

Checkers and hearts, scrappy quilt, quilted with big stitches and button thread. No new materials for this quilt, all scraps including the red button thread which I had three spools of and dont even remember where they came from. (I did buy new batting, since pieced batting really doesnt work that well, as i have discovered)

Just a couple more blocks to quilt, in big red stitches (i chose this over machine quilting on my 80 year old singer or paying 150 dollars to learn and rent a machine.  There is nothing added by making museum quality stuff when my big dog (90 lb weimaraner) is going to pick it as his favorite space (LOL)

 

Its more fun for me to “invent” new hearts and checkers quilt blocks than copy the same pattern over and over.

 

 

Checkers and hearts: scrappy quilt blocks for a pillow or bedspread could be made by valentines day. Hearts and applique.

Here is a continuation of a series of “just for fun” scrap quilt blocks, all from left over squares of fabric and pieces that are cut into heart shapes. Applique is with my 75 year old portable singer…. nothing but zig-zag, nothing fancy.

Checkers and hearts: more scrappy quilt blocks

Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks, all unique
New block for a checkers and hearts quilt for my granddaughter.

Seems that many of these using scraps of material dont work the same way when using my old singer to applique the edges. I could invest in a new machine, but not likely.

Another block here.

Just more fun, scrappy quilt blocks, no new fabrics or thread. This one is a little rough admittedly, but the idea is fun.

Heart quilt with checks and hearts, individual blocks are so different and so fun to create. All from scraps, truly becming a scrappy quilt. This one, hearts specifically for one of my three granddaughters.
