Amanda's Memory Quilt (#2)
When Amanda sent me the box of fabrics to make a memory
quilt from her mom’s fabric stash, I quickly concluded I could make many quilts
from the fabric in the box. I decided I would secretly make three quilts – one
for each sibling. (More details on the post for Quilt #1.)
I found the “Geese in the Corner” quilt idea on Pinterest. I
cut large squares from solid white Moda Bella fabric that I bought at The
Stitchin’ Post in Willow Springs, MO and small squares from every fabric in the
box.
When I sewed the small square to the large square, I sewed
two lines ½” apart. Then cut in-between the two sewn lines. This created the
goose block, but also an extra HST (half square triangle) block.
I did not have any large pieces left for a quilt back, so I
purchased a navy tiny floral print from Wal-Mart. I had Kathy Michel quilt this one too. She quilted it with a loops pantograph similar to this one. I used a red tiny floral print from Wal-Mart to bind.
I gave the quilt (along with this one and this one) to Amanda when she came to visit us the weekend of May 2.
See the quilts I made for the other two siblings here and here.
Three quilts for three siblings. A beautiful tribute to a mother and sewist.
