<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You MUST first get everything organized, and this takes some time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She recommends placing all the CUT pieces (which you cut yourself) into baggies with each block name (I counted 57 different blocks).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So it's quite a bit of work before you even start sewing. However, I find this task to be relaxing. However, ONE MUST, pay attention and double check before cutting each piece, so as to get the measurements correct. It takes concentration, but I could still watch a movie while doing this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. . . . and soon I will be sewing! The woven cloth is one I made when I was a teenager, and wanted a loom of my own. I made one from a frame of wood and nails, then proceeded to weave strips of fabric. It took me a while, but it is about the size of a placemat, and it works great under my sewing machine. I like to slide my machine around to suit me where I'm sitting, and this works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The square pincushion is my own design, and I will have these kits up at the PeonyStreet Studio on Etsy, again, pretty soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The strawberry pincusion is made from red corduroy that my mother used to make overalls for one of my brothers, when he was about 2 years old. I saved the leftover fabric (from about 50 years ago or more). It reminds me of my mum.</span></div>

Hello! These are the makers: Hannie Jo and daughter-in-law, Sarah J.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted, circa 1890's.</div>

This was on Sarah J's bed in the old house. Before the house rotted away, this quilt was rescued and stored for many years. Every time we took it out to look at it, it smelled funny. It was kept dry, and so the deterioration was stopped.</div>

See how yellow and spotted it was??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, I got brave and decided it was time to actually wash it- YES-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a wet wash.</div>

Here is the product I used:</div>

It really works wonders. I tried it first on a white stained linen dresser scarf, and was convinced it would work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first put the quilt in a bucket,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I just put it in the tub!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had fun swishing it around and decided it looked beautiful.</div>

It's dry now and looks so much better!! It's laying inside the house now, and that's a poplar hardwood floor, by the way. It's beautiful as it ages (the floor and the quilt!).<br />

Much cleaner! I like the Vintage Textile Soak. I think quilt restorers don't want you to wet wash anything, but for me- I had to try it at my own risk on my ancestor's quilt. I knew the dirt in it would most likely keep deteriorating the fabrics.</div>

Though tattered and torn, this quilt is my favorite one off all times, because I rescued it, from the old log house. I preserved it, and now, carefully washed it. It makes me feel so close to my ancestors. Many of the fabrics are from old clothing they wore.</div>

Last one!<br />
~~~<br />
You can see the tell-tale polyester batting. I used to hate polyester batts. This one is a medium loft,<br />
Mountain Mist brand. I have found quilts made with this type batt are light in weight, and are warm.<br />
I did not prewash these fabrics, which is against my usual mode of making a quilt. The fabrics have a wonderful sheen to them, and are a very good quality cotton.<br />
This was an easy construction, once I got the fabrics situated in a satisfactory way for me.<br />
The colors remind me of the ocean.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Buttercream Twist, 80 inches square.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made it bigger than the pattern called for, which was is 6 x 6 blocks:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In other words- 6 rows by 6 rows (60 inches square). So I made mine 8 blocks in each row. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The blocks are 10 inches square, so that makes it easy to figure out, and also, you can throw this on the bed, any way you want to, and not have to worry about which way is up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">~~~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I liked this pattern when I first saw it. I thought, it looks so easy and very simple, but it didn't turn out that way. Don't get me wrong, I like Kim D.'s designs, and I love her color schemes of fabrics. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's the problems I had:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. The seam allowance had to be less than 1/4 inch, in fact, almost 1/8 inch, to make the unfinished block 10 1/2" inches square. Even then, I had to trim blocks after pressing, to make them square.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. I tried altering the size of the cut strips to make up for this problem, but that didn't work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. I just couldn't figure out the math on this one- to make the sewn unfinished block turn out to be 10 1/2" square. I tried cutting the strips for the blocks slightly different widths, but it still would not come out right. I finally gave up and just stayed with a consistent VERY scant 1/4 seam allowance, pressed and trimmed the blocks as necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">~~~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> It helped to use the same ruler to trim the blocks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My advice: be as accurate and consistent as possible when cutting the fabric for this quilt, and then again when you are piecing it. It will make a difference in how your blocks turn out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I call it "Kite Tails and Doughnuts"!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is an all-over design, and I used several different round templates to make the doughnuts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">~~~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last note: I chose a High Loft 100% polyester batting! I found out I actually like polyester batting. It's warmer than cotton, and it gave my quilting design more definition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had fun making this quilt, despite the problems and was lucky to finish it before I got sick.</span></div>

Insert tab between the block layers, so that the raw edge is even with the top or whereever you want the tab. You could also put the tab at the corner. Ours is in the middle, where the butterly "body" is located.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oooooooo! I love me some butterflies! Especially when they are easy to make, like these, from Fig Tree & Co., Joanna Figueroa. The pattern is called "Painted Ladies". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The blocks are 7 1/2" unfinished, and the seam allowances are accurate. (Some of the Fig Tree patterns in the past that I've made have needed a scant 1/4" seam allowance.) These blocks are so fun and easy to make, a beginner can make these. You can find the pattern <u><a href="http://store.figtreeandcompany.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=968">HERE</a></u>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This quilt called for thirty blocks, and I made two extra for a decorative potholder, which will be posted later. Cute and extra cute! Have fun!</span></div>
