Today I would like to share my latest finish. About 20 years ago long
after my grandmother had passed away my grandfather sold his farm house
to downsize into a smaller house. At the auction my sister purchased a
big box of old fabric scraps and partially finished quilt blocks. She
dug them out a while ago and asked me to use the old fabrics as well as
some new fabrics to finish some quilts for her, myself and my mom. The
fist quilt finished using fabrics and blocks from the box can be seen here.
For this quilt the nine patch blocks were already completed but a little
crooked (my grandmother didn't have a rotary cutter). I trimmed all the
nine patch blocks to 10 inch squared then added some 10 inch blocks
that had a hint of wonkiness.
The quilt measures:Um... I'll update later lol
Pattern: Mine
Fabrics used: Timeless Treasures, Robert Kaufman found here, Henry Glass found here, Moda Oh Deer! and my grandmas vintage squares.
Quilted by: Me with straight lines 1/4 inch apart.
I just love how bright and cheery it is! Here are a couple up close photos...
Thanks for stopping in!!

How wonderful! All the fabrics look like they were meant for each other. I like that you made some slightly wonky blocks to work with Grandma's wonky 9 patches. Such a bright and cheery quilt. The straight line quilting fits it so nicely. Great job!
What a gorgeous bright happy quilt you have made using your Grandma's 9 patch blocks...
great finish...

Lovely happy quilt and I love the providence attached to it. What a treasure to hold.
Wonderful use of your grandmother's pretty blocks. Beautiful cheery quilt, the colors look great together.
I'm not a lover of yellow or orange, but that quilt is just so lovely! I'd happily have it! lol
