SNEAK PEEK! 😏

I’m slowly making progress on my next pattern. It’s a fun combination of Star and Log Cabin blocks. And since those are my two fave blocks, this quilt has been SO FUN to sew. I hope you’ll all enjoy making it as much I have!

I hope to have the pattern out in the next few months! 🧵 ✂️

Tough one! But if a quilting fairy could help you start off the new year with a clean space or a stack of finished quilts, which would you choose? Tell me in the comments!⁠

I'd get help with my longterm unfinished quilts -- I'd love someone to quilt and bind those for me, so I could start a new project! 😜

I do not come from a line of quilters. There was one quilt in my family before I took up the hobby and I am so happy that quilt made its way to my home! The quilt was made by my great-great grandmother and was never finished.

My original intention with this quilt was to finish it. Unfortunately, the quilt had so many holes and small tears across the quilt. I thought about tracking down similar-looking fabrics or feed sacks and patching the holes, but it honestly felt like an impossible task.

After years of agonizing over what to do with this quilt, I finally decided to repurpose this quilt into ornaments. I know people have mixed opinions over whether it’s ok to cut up antique quilts, but I know this quilt top will bring so much more love and enjoyment as meaningful holiday decor for my family members.

I did save my two favorite blocks (and the ones that were in the best shape). I plan to frame them, so I’ll have a reminder of the original quilt’s design and handywork. I was never able to meet my great-great grandma, but I like to think that she’d be happy to know her beautiful work is being enjoyed by generations of her family.

After making these, I thought others might want the pattern! It’s a freebie on my blog. You can make the pattern using your favorite Christmas fabrics or get creative with repurposing like I did. It’s a quick and easy pattern and makes a great gift — I hope you give it a try!
