Laura Farnham Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Just pulled this one off the Frame. The Fans of this quilt are made from my customers Mothers clothes. It is a gift for her daughter. I Did some Freehand Feathered Wreaths in the solid blue blocks, and just stitched in a 1/4 inch throughout the fans. I love the simplicity of this quilt and can only imagine what a treasure this will be for my customers Daughter. Here is a picture of the blocks.

Sandra Darlington Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I love the fan idea for the clothes. Somtimes these clothes make a really fugly quilt, but using the fabrics in smaller pieces like the fan blades, make it look beautiful. Very nice quilting, too. I'll have to remember this idea for a future quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewcrazy4quilting Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 What a beautiful treasure you created. Keeping it simple makes the quilt soft for wrapping up in and feeling the love of the memories in a memory quilt. Wonderful job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
