The Jinny Beyer Quilt

She's almost done.  Many issues with thread and heavy seams.  But after all the trouble its coming out nicely.  I think the owner will be quite pleased when she sees her vintage top quilted.  Those corner blocks look like they need more, might try adding something.  Anyone have any suggestions?



Also went out and picked up the new 100 Blocks Vol 5.  I love looking at all these inspiring and creative blocks.  I've gotta have every issue(and I do).

This one is my favorite!  Recently I've fallen in love with applique, but not only does this have applique but a cute little cathedral window like turn down on the basket.

A blast from the past

This quilt came to me from a family member several months ago.  It was the first and only top she had made several years ago.  She couldn't remember exacly when it was made.  Well not saying she did a bad job because she did lovely not to have had any experience with quilting.  Anyway I had to do some fixing in order to get it on my frame.  While doing so I noticed there was a salvage edge....and look what I found!  It a Jinny Beyer fabric from the 90's!  Wow this is totally different from her line of fabrics today.  Any other quilter would've cut these salvages off and I'd never known!  Some mistakes can be happy ones!
