I enjoy quilt cam and all of the other people who share their projects so much, so I wanted to return the favor.

I had never made a quilt and didn't know anyone who quilted, but I started handpiecing that one--no first-timer four-patch for me! With a teenager's confidence and a bag full of scrap fabric, I pieced about 2/3 of the top in the next couple years. Sadly, I confess that I've never completed it. But when I saw your quilt top on Quiltcam last night, I about flipped out! "That's my pattern!" Maybe this was a sign that I need to dig that ancient project out and finish it finally.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832045435331287717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45212586817308447082014-09-09T14:02:46.474-04:002014-09-09T14:02:46.474-04:00Isn't it great to be heading toward a FINISH o...Isn't it great to be heading toward a FINISH on any quilt?!

Now, though, I find a lot of them funky and charming. That grey and yellow umbrella print you showed? I'd buy half a bolt of that if it was reprinted. Adorable!<br /><br />Yep. That lovely quilt is begging to be finished and used. I look forward to more photos when it's done, if you have time. What a great find all those years ago - you're a lady who knows a good investment when she sees it! :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232459401326203771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-62185512430782814452014-09-09T10:20:21.183-04:002014-09-09T10:20:21.183-04:00It is amazing how everything that goes around come...It is amazing how everything that goes around comes around. What is old suddenly becomes fresh and new again and sparks our interests. Your quilt is stunning in all its 1950's beauty. I love the border you added.<br /><br />My to do list is to start quilting the mountain majesty top I made from your site. I got it loaded on the longarm yesterday. It is in orange and blue.

Also seen it called "True Lovers Knot". I have 2. I was given one as a wedding gift in '65 from my maternal great-grandmother. It is typical cotton scraps from the 50's. Then in the 70's my maternal grandmother gifted me with one made from yes.....get ready for it.....polyester double knit !! They have both been just put away. One day I decided to try to find out what pattern they were and when I laid them out to my complete surprise they were the SAME pattern only the earlier one was set with sashing between the blocks. So, I bought a Ardco template set of the block and now plan to make one with "modern" fabrics (maybe on point) and put the story on the back of the quilt trilogy. Sorry for the long post but just as Bonnie said-there is nothing new under God's sun and what is old is new again.
