Bed Quilt: Cutting Into Pieces

An article by Rachel    3 Comments

After using the same quilt on our bed for 11 years, I started to make us a new quilt. Above represents half of the fabric that’s cut up. Sometimes it seems odd that I buy big pieces of fabric only to cut them up and sew them back together into a new big piece of fabric. Anyways the quilt is in motion.

I’ve forgotten how much work a queen sized quilt is. It felt like a spent the better part of my Saturday cutting fabric. Luckily, i had the foresight to choose a simple quilt pattern for such a large part. The pattern is Summer Porch in Eleanor Burns’ Quilts Through the Seasons. I first saw this quilt made up about two years ago. Since then I’ve seen a couple of different versions, and I like it even more. With a little luck, i’ll have a progress update by the end of the week.
