October 2021 OMG

I’ve chosen my goal for the month!  I am going to finish restoring this quilt.


There are two complete blocks that will be replaced and then one or two single triangles that will be replaced.


Shown below is a complete block.



I received some vintage fabrics from a friend and have cut the replacement pieces.  I have pressed a quarter inch seam all around each piece and am ready to start hand stitching.


I used the Clover Hot Hemmer shown to measure the pressed over seam allowance.  Even seams and no burnt fingers!  It’s a very thin piece of cardboard with registration marks.  


Are you joining the fun?

    It’s great that you are taking the trouble to restore this old quilt. It is nice that there will be a new chapter to its story with the replacement fabrics.

    That's wonderful you got some vintage fabrics to use. Will you have to do any quilting on this?
