Wool Memory Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
I was asked to do a memory quilt for a friends friend. So I thought ok, shouldn't be that hard. So I said ok and to bring the material over that she wanted me to use. I was thinking cotton shirts, etc, but no she brought over jackets/coats made of wool and wanted a star quilt. I just finished watching Missouri Star Quilts on utube and thought the Big Star might just work. I used 6.5" squares instead of the 10" squares and I think I kinda like it after fighting with it. The seams were too thick to quilt so I tied it and now doing the binding on it. Here is a pic of the quilt.

You did a wonderful job! I did a square in a square wool wallhanging in Amish colours and used 1/2 inch seams. The wool wasn't bad to work with in large pieces. I hand quilted it but with bigger stitches. I think you choose the perfect pattern and it looks awesome!

Turned out great!

Looks really great. it's not easy to work with the palette all those jackets offer. Did you happen to pre-shrink or is this going to be a dry clean only?
|
