In an effort to clean out closets my mom found 4 vintage quilts in need of repair. Over the next few months I will highlight this journey on Mondays. These are possibly my great grandmothers, however we are not 100% certain. Either way I think they will be fun projects.
This quilt is series of 9 block patches and plain squares. With years of use there are tears and holes all over. The seams are easy to repair but I would like input on what to do with the tears on the blocks.
The 9 patch blocks are stripes and solids. The fabrics look to be from the 30’s or 40’s, mostly old shirts.
My thoughts:
- Use some of the vintage fabric I have from the 60’s or 70’s to make small squares on the blocks to cover tears
- Cut out the squares and put new ones in
- Or…open to suggestions
