Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Scrap Quilting »

Instructions

It's in the video. All I did extra was add four additional blocks and borders. The quilt was machine-quilted 'in the ditch' (right up seam lines) and then I hand-quilted in the Big Stitch style. Used #12 black perle cotton and a #5 Between needle. Took my time and enjoyed the process.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Funky, Traditional, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Mostly cotton scraps, wool batting

What was your inspiration?

Old-timey Southern scrap quilts.

What are you most proud of?

I had fun doing it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Obviously take your time. I started this in December 2011 (when Craftsy came to my studio to film), put it aside for months, and then in October started hand quilting it. "No quilt before its time."

This adorable quilt says "happy and fun." Great that you combined machine and hand stitching, saving handwork for where it shows best. I'm definitely trying that!
