Inspired by Sujata Shah, I am creating a new quilt out of my grandmas lovely but damaged quilt.

Quilt top - this used to be a tied quilt, but was badly damaged, so years ago I removed the ties with the intention of repairing it. Now I have a plan!

Below are several inspiring quilts from Unconventional and Unexpected, giving me ideas for a layout.

What a great idea! I can't wait to see it. Just last night, I was looking at these very same string quilts. I think a string quilt might be my next scrap quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love working with what I call "rescue quilts" -- happy you have a plan for yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have couple of old string tops as well. I wonder if I can pour new life into them. I am curious to see which layout you choose and how you finish it.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your grandma's quilt! And such a great idea to try & rescue it, heaps of inspiration in the U & U book!
ReplyDeleteThere are some great fabrics in that old quilt, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
