Postage Stamp Quilt again

 My Postage Quilt is squared up and the binding is on. I am busy hand sewing the binding down.

I love sitting next to the window with a cup of  tea or coffee and working on bindings.

 I got this pretty tea cozy from Madame Samm. It is so beautiful and keeps my tea or coffee warm for a couple of hours. Thanks MS.

I quilted this Postage Stamp Quilt for Cathy. She made the top a few years ago and used her scraps. Isn't it a lovely scrappy quilt?

 Last week I had the opportunity to quilt this old top pieced in the 1930's. This quilt has the real 1930's fabrics and  the fabrics are in such a good condition.  Even the bubble gum pink fabric is so bright and did not fade over all these years.

 All the fabrics in this beauty is old, except for the new muslin backing and batting.

 Happy Quilting until next time,

Postage Stamp Quilt Again

 I am done piecing all the Postage Stamp blocks together, but I think the quilt needs a border or two. Maybe it should have a thin, white border and this blue and teal fabric I found for an outer border.

 I have something new in my quilting room. 

 It was supposed to be a jewelry holder, but I think it is perfect for my scissors and rotary cutter.

 It is on the wall above my sewing and cutting table. 

It looks like the whole country is having record cold temperatures.  Even in Texas it is so cold that the kids have a day off tomorrow. I  sure do enjoy having my fireplace on for a few days during the year. 

I am almost done with the binding on the Square in a Square quilt. I enjoy hand sewing my binding in front of our fireplace.  

 Happy Quilting until next time,



Postage Stamp Quilt Along

One of my friends told me about Rachel's Postage Stamp Quilt Along.

I jumped over to PSIQuilt to check it out.

I decided to use my pastel scraps for the Postage Stamp Quilt.

I know I said I have to finish a few UFO's before I start another project, but here I am using my stash.  Good enough reason for me to start another fun scrappy quilt.

A strip sets.

 B strip sets.

 Yeah I am using my scraps!

 I love my Shape Cut ruler. You are probably wondering what is up with the blue painter's tape. That is just to make it easier for me when I cut up my stash into strips.

 I cut several 2.5" segments at once.

 Can you see what I did wrong? I think it is a good idea to mark the other side of the Shape Cut ruler with 2.5" strips so that I will not make another mistake like this.

 My first few blocks are done. I love how they turned out.

Happy Quilting until next time,
