Here are the quilts that I mentioned yesterday that Mom made for our veterans quilt project.
My Mom has a huge bin of 2.5" squares that she's been making quilts from and that's where these quilts started. The blue fabric on the outside came to use from a friend. She and her husband have been clearing out his Mom's house. They send the sewing stuff to me. Lots of it was garbage but there was fabric that I'm using for dog beds and there was probably 5 yards of this blue. There's enough for a 3rd quilt that we are going to make to send to the MIL. Gosh, I love a scrap quilt!  They are quilted with a stars and ribbon pantograph on this blue hand dyed backing.
Next I'll quilt the Grandmother's Choice quilt and then I'll be back to veterans quilts.

I love all your quilts - and your Mom's but these are just wow! Bonus points for the great ideas for using up fabric scraps there! 1/18/2020 08:40:21 am
I love a good scrappy quilt. Yay for Mom using up so many of the scraps.

I love how your mom has used her scraps to make veterans quilts. Red, white, and blue but the scrappy blocks really make the quilt sing. The quilt pattern you have chosen is perfect!

I like the two different blocks and the scrappy look overall. These will be well loved I'm sure. Comments are closed.
