Very Simple Stash Buster
 
1 Attachment(s)
Sometimes you just need to make something very simple. I have one of my grandmother's quilts which I use all of the time so I patterned this quilt from what she made. I used up quite a bit of my 1930s reproduction fabric and used the left overs in the binding. There is no rhyme or reason where the colors landed - it is completely random. She didn't have any borders on her quilt so I didn't add any on mine. This will be my TV quilt, I wanted to take pictures before the puppies had a chance to lay on it.

This type of quilt calls to my soul and makes me happy. I think because it reminds me of my grandmother! Great job! I love it!

It's so beautiful, your Grand Mother would be so proud that you not only use the one she made, but that you have made your own just like it!! Nice Job!!

I think many times that simple is better. Many of the modern quilts I like are simple designs but they are striking. I really like your colors.

Linda1 12-02-2014 03:42 AM

I love the more simple quilts. Your quit is very pretty.

She would be flattered by your thinking of her style. It turned out very nice!

citruscountyquilter 12-02-2014 04:25 AM

I love it. This is my kind of quilt. One you can snuggle up with and feel good.

2manyhobbies 12-02-2014 04:57 AM

Your quilt just oozes coziness and comfort. I love blankies like this during the cold winter months. Hot chocolate, log in the fireplace, and a weepy movie. Ahh.

twinkie 12-02-2014 05:03 AM

I have seen many of these quilts which were made by my grandmother and DH's mother. It is great.

BettyB 12-02-2014 05:27 AM

you know this type may be like grandmothers use to make, but my grown children and grandchildren love these kind of quilts, yours is so warm and comfortable looking, I love it.

Geri B 12-02-2014 06:02 AM

......and that's what this is all about!!!!

LITTLEOLDME 12-02-2014 07:26 AM

tessagin 12-02-2014 07:30 AM

This is a great looking quilt!

kplumbridge 12-02-2014 07:43 AM

I like it. It's a great reminder that quilts were originally created to be used and we should all spend time snuggling in one.

wendiq 12-02-2014 08:09 AM

Guess I'm old fashioned, but I like the simpler quilts like my grandma made, too. The art quilts are beautiful, but to me they need to be hung. These simpler styles are meant to be used and hugged!

mjhaess 12-02-2014 09:07 AM

Great use of extras...

Sew Freak 12-02-2014 09:13 AM
