A person holds a blue and white overprinted quilt that has been pinned to a 24” x 36” frame. The excess fabric is rolled to the viewers right side. The person holding the quilt is only visible by their hands on either side of the frame and a few inches of their legs in black pants. The person holding quilt stands a few inches from a white wall. The overprint design is a block we call “Tangled”, and it repeats on all 4 edges no matter how the block is turned. The blue and white quilt is antique, probably from around 1900’s and is mostly hand stitched, but machine stitched along the sashing/border, which seems to have been typical of the time

A person holds the backside toward viewer of a blue and white overprinted quilt that has been pinned to a 24” x 36” frame. The excess fabric is rolled to the viewers left side. The person holding the quilt is only visible by their hands on either side of the frame and a few inches of their legs in black pants. The person holding quilt stands a few inches from a white wall. The overprint design is a block we call “Tangled”, and it repeats on all 4 edges no matter how the block is turned. The blue and white quilt is antique, probably from around 1900’s and is mostly hand stitched, but machine stitched along the sashing/border, which seems to have been typical of the time. The back side of this Flimsy quilt (no batting was used) is made with an antique linen and lace square tablecloth.

We’ve been experimenting with hand stitching, and we made a quilt frame using a thrifted painting frame and leftover pieces from a quilted Vermie grid. We’re excited to explore this technique and our new DIY tool!

We’d love to hear your thoughts!
