I thought about those pretty quilts often. Then got the idea to take old dresses i could buy at the thrift store and turn them into quilts using the yummy blankets i dad as batting.
I had not one clue what i was doing back then , just cut make blocks sew sew sew. Of course the idea was good, they worked but the quilts were certainly not square, they were all over the place.
I put it all down for years . Much like i did my knitting when i first began.
Years later hubby helped me get back into not just knitting but quilting as well. No matter where we lived i always have had a craft corner, stuffed with supplies for what ever kind of project i wanted to do. The major ones being knitting and quilting.
Here i will share with you the ones i do have photos of that i have made through the yrs. starting with the most recent , this one was made for my sons daughter Zia, for this past christmas i wanted her to have a oart of her fathers culture so i used my grand mothers moccasin top patterns as boarders, and a devils club leaf at each corner. Which in our culture is used for a ton of medicinal purposes. Then in the center i added the family crest . Used flannel for the whole quilt front and back and good wool batting for the fill.
