Flora’s Fans
This quilt was made in an online block of the month program. The fabrics are vintage feedsacks and some belonged to my Great-Grandmother FLora. It’s quilted with her favorite motif, Baptist Fans
These photos are terrible. The background is bright white. The quilt is very soft and cuddly and is a quilt that I am still using in 2025. It’s become the blanket I go for when I’m not feeling well. Fortunately, that’s not very often!
Modern Crumbs
Around the time I was finishing up the Flora’s Fans quilt I actually said out loud at a guild meeting that I would not make any more crumb blocks. Within 2 weeks I was sewing together the feedsack scraps into crumb blocks….as usual!
I took my inspiration from the modern quilts and set my crumb blocks into blocks using old sugar sack fabrics. I had picked up a stack of old sugar sacks from eBay or somewhere and was just waiting for the perfect project. I love the faded prints from the sacks mixed in with the feed sack blocks. I quilted this one with parallel straight lines. This is my TV lap quilt and I still use it in 2025. It’s the perfect size to drape over my legs without getting hung up in the ottoman or in the way of whatever project pile I have nearby.
As you can see by the last photo, both of these quilts are white, not yellow.
