I have amassed quite a collection of quilting books. And sometimes I wonder if I will ever make even one project from the books. I found this book at a thrift shop a couple of years ago.
I thought this book looked very familiar. So as I am leafing through the pages I recognized several of the quilts. And now I know why.
I loved making Button Box. It was such a fun quilt.
And the Bow Tie quilt
was another fun one to make
Cracker on the other hand
was never finished.
While making the blocks for this quilt, I had so many blocks left over that I made another quilt and gave it away. So the borders never were finished. Now I don't even know where the borders ended up :-( Have you ever had that happen?
Beautiful quilts Jocelyn! I love scrappy quilts also. I had never heard of the Cracker quilt until this week. A lady on FB shared a picture and a link for one. It was very beautiful. I think it looks a lot like a signature quilt.
ReplyDeleteI've got quite a library of quilt books too. Most, if not all, will go to a thrift store someday. They are fun to look through and find something new to make! I really like your Cracker quilt and I think it looks great without the border! Just add a binding and it's done!
