The Primitive Strip Quilt

 

I started this primitive strip quilt

way back in April of 2015.

Lots of strips made with mostly

vintage Brannock and Patek fabrics.

 I machine quilted it this past week...not an easy task
as it's quite large and bulky.

I just machine quilted in the ditch around each panel

and a few strips if the panel was large.

 



 

My quilt is based on a 1930 African American quilt from

the book Ultimate Quilting Book by

Maggie McCormick Gordon.

Primitive Strips

 

I've been making a strip quilt using my vintage Brannock and Patek fabrics.

 

Inspired by this 1930 African American quilt from the book, The Ultimate Quilting Book by Maggie McCormick Gordon.

 

I have several more sections to add before finishing with the same type red borders.

Wool

I rarely buy "nice" wool, usually use thrift wool or wool someone has been nice enough to send me.  Really, really needed these shades of wool for a project and broke down and bought them on Ebay.  Rarely can I find shades of white at the thrift store, these are wonderful, especially love the faint stripe.

And then speaking of thrift wool, had the urge to cut up some from my stash and start a string quilt with wool.  Will see where it takes me.
