Squares into quilts
Piles of Squares
Rainy Saturdays are good for stitching and sewing.
Pink Top
In September, Constance and I went through our box of neatened, trimmed square squares, and made a Pink-themed quilt top!
Arranging
Today we got going on the blue-themed top which meant a lot of arranging
Pressing
And Pressing!
Blue Top
We stitched until we ran out of daylight! There will be a bit more stitching to do tomorrow, then we’ll trim it to exactly the same size as the pink one and bind it. Our friend will have two, almost matching new old quilts!

Such a lucky friend! These will be treasured, I am sure!
Love went into the making of the quilts!
I never imagined how much of a helper Constance is!!!! Sooooooo patient and dedicated…but she went to Compostelle, didn’t she? Quite the character shaper!!! The two of you form a most creative team!!!! Bravo…These quilts will be cherished!!!!
Constance certainly learned a new definition of patience and perseverance on the Camino with me…she is the best kind of companion, non-judgmental, and amiable. She very much encourages generosity and creativity in me!
Very lovely, Constance and Mrs Human. It’s always a pleasure to see what fiber lovelies come from your hands and mind.
Thank you very much, we are so lucky! We have double the pleasure – from the making, and then from the kind things my friends say about them!
Beautiful wee quilts. Lucky are the Hitty’s who receive one.
Thank you – we are glad you like them! We are lucky to have Hitty friends like the friends who sent us the squares. We are very happy to send them these quilts for their beautiful bedroom!
ahhh patchwork quilts…my favorite kind of blanket. Nicely done Constance. You have an eye for pattern!
We like patchwork too, and spent a long time figuring out how to best take advantage of these pretty little pieces…we like the way they turned out!
And, two more heirlooms are created! How beautiful 🙂
The quilts are made from some “heirloom” fabrics, so they could turn into heirloom heirlooms! We did have fun making them!
