30's Playtime Jelly Roll from Moda
 
1 Attachment(s)
This was my project this week. I used a 6.5 inch snowball and 6.5 inch 9 patch to make this twin size quilt. I love the 30 and 40's fabrics....a blast from my past. The quilts I grew up with were not works of art but items to keep us warm. Mama and Grandma used lots of muslin (feed sacks, sugar and flour sack) and any scraps from clothing sewing. This quilt makes me smile :)

Great quilt it makes me smile too. I love the 30's and 40's reprints I'm working on a collection of them for a farmers wife sampler quilt.

Makes me smile too. I grew up in feed sack dresses. Love the quilt!

I love the quilt. Those prints make me think of my Granny, warm and cosy.

Jordan 02-08-2014 06:54 AM

I absolutely love your quilt. It is so pretty. I am binding two twin quilts made with repo 30's right now. I just LOVE 30's fabric but it is getting harder to buy or find it seems to me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt.

mighty 02-08-2014 06:59 AM

Really pretty!!!

frog54 02-08-2014 11:26 PM

makes me smile too

Crqltr 02-09-2014 02:30 AM

I would be smiling too! Beautiful quilt. We grew up with function quilts also..made with any fabric available, not always pretty but we were warm!

Retired Fire Chief 02-09-2014 03:55 AM

Very cute! Love the 30s fabrics.

stitchingcrazy 02-09-2014 04:14 AM

Makes me smile too. Love it.

wishfulthinking 02-09-2014 04:26 AM

I love your quilt! Utility quilts are what I grew up with, too. And my mother had a scrap bag for old clothes and pieces left over from making our clothes, even though she'd rather be doing anything but sitting and sewing. It's these type quilts that got me interested in quilting. Thanks for sharing.

I just love the fabrics and the pattern. I did one a few years ago with the same pattern (snowball and nine patch), It ended up looking totally different. I think I like yours much better.

I like that quilt. It would be a good way to use up some of my stash. I will have to try that pattern

cherrio 02-09-2014 08:23 AM

I love it and the fact that your snoballs are all light, but not identical. I have one similar but way beat up! this inspires me to dig out the jelly roll and sew! thanks for sharing.
