This one is almost done. My new favorite way to quilt certain quilts is to divide it into 4 sections via diagaonal lines from corner to corner. Then I fill in each quadrant with chevrons, in this case, 3/4 inch apart. I use 1/4 inch quilters tape t mark my lines, then stitch right along the tape edge.
Here is an antique PA pillowcase that I just hung up for the fall. With this type of wooden compression hanger makes it easy to change what's on display. This pillowcase dates to ca. 1870.
I love both of your quilts, they are really pretty. The quilting is great, too. Love using tape as a guide, I really get nice straight lines that are evenly spaced. Looks like you are very organized with your sewing box. The antique pillowcase is very nice, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the little quilts, and that little hanger. I have a similar one. You are so organized! It makes me feel like a slackard! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteInteresting quilting design. I think that I would like to try it on a crib quilt. Will need to store this idea away. Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteNice quilts! The chevron quilting looks very effective on the log cabin block. Those antique pieces are in amazing condition. Ann:-)

It looks like you're making great progress on that list you posted just a short while ago. The little quilts are great and I, too, like the chevron quilting.
ReplyDeleteDitto - Ditto! Just wondering if the little quilt with the chevron quilting is a square or rectangle. I couldn't tell from the because of the angle of the picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely quilts!! And that sure is a fancy pillowcase. Do you suppose it was used at all? It looks like it is fantastic shape for its age.
ReplyDeleteQuilts are looking great. You are really finishing up all your projects. I like the uilting too. I have some of that tape and I always forget I haved it until someone else mentions it. I better put it where I can see it.
