i made this puff patch in the early 90's. had lots of help stuffing it! the front is mostly all polyester scraps & silky fabric [used for lingerie]; the entire back was pieced together & sewn onto the front like you would sew a pillow case, turned right side out & handsewn shut. the flannel back is tied to the front w/ embroidery floss. it has been washed several times & line dried...still in pretty good shape!

That was like a blast from the past! I made my niece a biscuit quilt when she was born, I had forgotten all about that!
|
I once knew a lady that made them and used the leg of a nylon to stuff each square. Nice quilt

well just the scraps you did a wonderful job and all by hand you made a beauitful quilt ,thank you for sharing
|
Very nice quilt!!

Ahhh! Those polyester scraps!! They were alweays too big to throw aeway, but what to do with them. I wasn"t as ambitious as you, I only made one large enough to use as a floor pad for my new grandaughter. She loved the bright colors, and it was well padded if she toppled over. It's been used as a picnic blanket too. Went through four babies, washed hundreds of times, and dstill looks like new. One thing about poly., it didn"T fade!! LOL

Looks like fun, I bet that is a favorite in your house.
|
Stunning!

It's great - I think that is a pattern that needs to be revived. It's so fun!
