029 My First Commissioned Quilt


A Baby Quilt for a baby due January/February. 
No specific instructions, just that it is for a Boy.
Scotty dog blocks. 
Backing fabric that happened to be in my stash!
 A bit of pebble quilting. It uses bit more thread, but I like the look of it.

Still Here:

A couple of random house blocks 
for a "Sandy Victim" Quilts.

Old Meets New ~ 2013

My Mom has been gone 18 years now.  
As I was cleaning out more 'gotta-keep-it' bins, I discovered negatives. 
Amongst them I found a couple of quilt pictures. 
A perfect way to start this year's blogging;  showing a couple of her creations. 



She only patched from scraps, which is probably why I lean towards scrappy quilts; 
I suppose it's also out of respect for who she was. 

I still have one unfinished patchwork top of hers that I will (eventually) complete with batting and backing - it will be a "combination quilt" - old meets new. 


Unlike the picture I've included here ^^ which as far as I can see are made from (yikes) fortrel, the quilt top I have is made of cotton or cotton blend fabrics.  :)
