Strip Quilt from Scraps
My mom has been working on a new quilt for the last few weeks and I love it so much, I asked her if I could share it.
Over the last many years, when she finishes a project, she cuts some of the scraps up into 1-1/2″ to 2″ strips, in varying lengths.
She’s saved them for a rainy day.
In May it must have have rained, since she pulled out her scraps and started a quilt.
The widest rows are about 16″ wide and the narrowest are about 5″ wide. I love how a few sections run the wrong way. And a few rows have narrow rows through a section.
She’s been hand quilting it before she goes to bed each night. It should be done in a few days.
When my husband saw it, he said, “Oh man, that is an ugly quilt.”
I think it’s one of my favorites that my mom has made.
She has enough scraps to make a few more quilts, so I may be making an ugly quilt just for me. And he won’t be allowed to use it.
The quilt is beautiful… thanks for sharing!
What a gorgeous quilt!!
It would become a favorite
of mine as well. :0)
What does your husband know anyhow? This quilt is lovely and special because your mother made it. Cherish it. What a great way to get rid of scraps.
What a great idea for scraps! I love the look of this quilt, and you’re right… You should totally make an “ugly” quilt and NEVER let your husband use it! :) That’s what I’d do too! Thanks for sharing this (and thanks to your mom as well.)
It is such a pretty and happy quilt. And a fun way to remember all the things you have made. I can’t wait to see yours!
Amazing! Love it.
I LOVE this quilt!!! You should definitely make one of your own!
Perfect comment for the beautiful “ugly quilt” – and for your husband! I think I’ll make one for myself – I can’t wait to hear what MY husband has to say!!!
I absolutely love it.
Men, what do they know!! I love it!
I love scrapy quilts, great job Calli’s Mom! It’s beautiful.
Hilarious! At least you can trust your husband to give his heartfelt honest opinion-lol! :)
Men say the worst things…and what does he know about quilts? How offensive!!! Send him out to the man cave or something.
