another baby quilt this one for a grandma at work. some of you may know that i love scrappy stash busters. this one is quilted with the turkey tracks that i use a lot cause it is a fast way to do hand work.
hope she likes it. thanks for looking.

What a beautiful baby quilt-- destined to be well-loved.

I love scrappy quilts. My grandmother made one for me; a simple utility scrap quilt with pink sashing. I spent many "naptimes" studying the prints and colors. I'm sure my mom was delighted that it kept me entertained for a few extra minutes!

It was hand quilted like yours. There's nothing like soft hand quilting to snuggle under.

if you search for TECHNIQUE CALLED TURKEY TRACKS you will find a good drawing of the method of execution of this wonderful tacking device. sometimes i have seen it called crow foot tacking.
i use crotchet thread, the kind that comes in a big round ball. it is what grandma used to make doilies. i find that embroidery floss is too much hassle, although i have used it. also pearl cotton but it is more expensive and a little heavier than i prefer. but there are no quilt police. i would suggest experimentation to see what you like. have fun, it is very satisfying.

Very nice quilt nanabirdmo! Great use of scraps! The colors are so soft too.

Marcia 09-20-2009 10:22 AM

Lockeb 09-20-2009 10:39 AM

Hi there..
I've tried searching for TURKEY TRACKS but can't find anything - if anyone has a link they could share I'd really appreciated..now I'm really intrigued...
Thanks!
Bill

nanabirdmo 09-20-2009 10:50 AM

lockeb, if you just go to the top of this page you will find a search option just under the heading QUILTING BOARD-... the second option is search and there is a little magnifying glass beside. this searches from this site only. if you type in TECHNIQUE CALLED TURKEY TRACKS the very first option should be the one you want.
good luck.

PamH 09-20-2009 11:04 AM

Beautiful quilt!!
