Remember
those sugar sack remnants from last week?
I
couldn't wait to use them for this reproduction of one of my Granny
Hill's quilts. The bow tie block is quick and easy in the 6” size.
I added more feed sacks in yellow, red and green prints, including a scrap of Granny Rose's.
Tan
muslin squares alternated with the bow ties add to the traditional
design. I framed it with two borders, a 2” navy and cream mini
print and a 3” tan muslin on the outside. Vintage Bows finished at
53” square.
Vintage Bows
I
quilted with cream thread using a straight stitch in a 3” grid.
Backing and binding features the navy/cream print. Such a soft and
cuddly Granny quilt! It looks and feels like an antique, even though I just
finished it. Of course, most of the fabric IS vintage.
