Vintage quilt

 My sister had bought some quilt squares my grandmother had made in their estate auction 17 years ago. They have sat in her basement until a couple weeks ago. She brought them over and asked if I could finish some quilts for her.

 

In the box I found these blocks that were already sewn together in strips. My grandmother didn't have a rotary cutter so the fabrics aren't exactly even.... But I think it adds character!

 

I have been able to get one quilt completed so far. Its been fun! I love the scrappy, vintage feel!

 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to look!!

Finishes 5 & 6

I'm still making things from a mystery box of fabric I bought 3 years ago. There were enough 6.5" flannel squares cut to make two baby/toddler blankies with a few extra squares left over. I stitched the tops together at least 2 years ago and there they sat. They both measure 36" x 42" . I backed them with flannel but skipped the batting. I wanted something flexible to wrap around a baby and also a bit lighter for a toddler to drag around. No binding, I just stitched and flipped and then added some straight line quilting to hold them together.

I haven't worked with flannels much but I find that I really like how soft and snuggly they are.
