Strippy Four-Patch Quilt with Antique Fabric

Posted on February 4, 2014 by Martha

I am so happy to be hand quilting again. This top was finished in 2010, and was made to replace the fleece we’ve been using in our family room (we keep the temperature in our house on the cool side). The poor top has been sitting in the quilting queue for the longest time, and…

Triangle Quilt Top

Posted on January 17, 2014July 27, 2015 by Martha

It’s hard to judge which took longer — hand cutting the 5,110 triangles, or sewing them together. Originally I had planned to put these triangles on a design wall, but that never happened because I soon realized it was a crazy idea. Other than including one light-ish and one-darkish piece in the two-triangle units, I…

Midnight Stars Quilt

Posted on January 7, 2014August 4, 2015 by Martha

It’s shocking to me that it was almost exactly 3 years ago that Lori (Humble Quilts) sponsored this doll quilt-a-long. It took me 3 months to finish the top, and then the poor thing sat in the queue for the longest time.  Of course, mine isn’t a doll quilt, but still . . . I…

A Stocking for Cirilia Rose and a Little Crazy Quilt

Posted on November 27, 2013August 4, 2015 by Martha

I’m pretty surprised I’ve never made a stocking out of a vintage quilt before, because it seems like something that would be right up my alley.  When I was thinking about what kind of stocking I wanted to make for Cirilia, who is my son’s girlfriend, I initially thought I might try knitting, since she…

Dean’s Cloth Book Doll Quilt — Giveaway

Posted on September 17, 2013October 30, 2014 by Martha

This morning I finished quilting my Dean’s Cloth Book doll quilt, and I think it turned out just fine.  It’s been many months since I have done any hand quilting, and I’m so excited that I was able to stitch without problems.  I am becoming accustomed to quilting with a wrist brace, and I think…

Recycled: Little Linen Dress and Doll Quilt

Posted on December 4, 2012July 3, 2014 by Martha

Last week at the Goodwill I found a couple of pretty linen shirts, and thought maybe I could cut them up to make little girl dresses.  This is my first effort, and I’m so happy with it (and the process), that I am thinking of adding another line to my donated fashions.  First there was…

Nine-patch Doll Quilt with Antique Fabric

Posted on October 8, 2012August 4, 2015 by Martha

My friends, Patty (Patalier) and Barbara (Oodles and Oodles), always find the best vintage stuff, and my favorite things among all this stuff are fabric, notions, and anything quilt related.  So, when Barbara had a sale at her home for friends and family, and I was unable to attend (she’s in NY, I’m in Seattle),…

Santa’s Follow-the-Colors Embroidered Quilt – Finished

Posted on October 3, 2012March 21, 2013 by Martha

First of all, I want to thank everyone who made a comment on my last post.  I was overwhelmed by your kind words and compliments, and I miss all of you already. The Christmas quilt is finally done, so I am looking forward to hanging up a completed quilt this year, instead of just a…

Emily’s Doll Heart Quilt

Posted on June 18, 2012June 18, 2012 by Martha

Originally I planned to do more detailed quilting in the border of this quilt, but in the end I thought it looked better just to repeat the design in the sashing.  It’s kind of hard to do elaborate quilting on doll quilts because of the small scale and all the seams. The binding and backing…

Antique Album Quilt – Remade

Posted on May 30, 2012May 30, 2012 by Martha

It’s been wonderful to be able to hand quilt again.  My carpal tunnel has improved after taking a 4 month quilting break and wearing a wrist brace to bed.  I was so happy to get back to this project, and I’m looking forward to quilting more of the insane amount of tops I have waiting…

Bloggers’ Quilt Festival – Charley Harper Water Drop Quilt

Posted on May 19, 2012March 21, 2013 by Martha

It’s time once again for the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival over at Amy’s Creative Side.  Although it’s only been a few months since I posted my Charley Harper Water Drop Quilt, I am using it as my entry because it’s my current favorite of all the quilts I’ve made. The idea began when my husband gave…

Appliqued Baby Quilt – Vintage Novelty Toy Fabric

Posted on May 8, 2012September 19, 2016 by Martha

The quilt top is smaller than I originally planned.  I decided to use each of the toy motifs only once, and then make two bead blocks.  The blocks are 8″ with 2″ sashing and a 4″ outside border.  Because I have so much of this novelty fabric, I might add this to my shop as…

Appliqued Scottie Doll Quilt Top

Posted on April 18, 2012June 1, 2013 by Martha

This is Phase 2 of the doll quilt kit samples — one down, and two more to go. Years ago on ebay I saw a vintage scottie quilt with a similar diagonal set with the striped setting triangles, and I always wanted to try it.  I think it turned out pretty cute. A couple of…

Embroidered Bunny Doll Quilt Top

Posted on March 30, 2012March 21, 2013 by Martha

Here in the Pacific NW, it has been dreary and raining for the past week.  We got a little bit of sun last week, but I was still so jealous of the warm spring weather everyone else seemed to be enjoying.  Anyway, to cheer myself up, I decided to make a springy little doll quilt….

Feedsack Charm Doll Quilt Top – Little “O”

Posted on March 20, 2012March 22, 2012 by Martha

The only place I could find this pattern is on the first page of Maggie Malone’s “5,000 Quilt Block Designs.”  She calls it “Big O”, but the name doesn’t have a reference to any publication.  I thought I should change the name for this little quilt. The pattern reminds me of Kansas Dugout (here is…
