| Quilt #153 in my scrapbook |
I have a 1930's doll quilt that was my mom's when she was little. It was done with yo-yo's and I had a brilliant (no, not really) idea to try my hand at making some for a quilt. I discovered very quickly that it was not a technique I wanted to do for anything bigger than a wall hanging.
I made an even dozen of them and used them as "roses" for this 30" x 33" project. I actually entered it in a local contest at Ben Franklin store - no ribbon, but lots of comments about it being unusual. I just machine quilted it "in the ditch" around the various straight lines of the quilt.
Cotton fabric and poly batting.
Pieced and machine quilted Sept - Nov. of 1995 in Laurel, MT.
I have since given it to my daughter.
