I've more to show this week after all my working deconstructing about 60 donated coverlets which were too small for use, some being the size of a FQ. I spent every evening unpicking for about 10 nights and have finally finished.
This first quilt was made from 2 small coverlets and I joined them together as they were made from the same fabrics, then added borders. Now it's quilted and large enough for a gift quilt.
This was a small coverlet using just the pieced centre. I took it apart and then, using my stash , I added borders until it was large enougb for a cot quilt.
This quilt and the following 2 were coverlets, backed with fleece fabric. I joined them together using the QAYG method, and the same as last weeks, so now they are large enough to be cot quilts. I did think of adding backing but that would have been a lot more work and these are nice and soft .
It's good to clear out the quilting group's cupboards and remake the small coverlets we received so that they can be useful donations. I enjoy doing these type of projects too as it tests my creativity to adapt donations and make them usable.
Hugs, Jan Mac
