Every Quilt Has a Story – My First Quilt

My First Quilt Story and a Free Quilt Block Pattern

My great – great grandmother was a master quilter, and that one quilt lives on today with me.  I, too, decided to try my hand at quilting, and boy did I learn some hilarious lessons along the way.
two inch by two inch quilt block pattern for you to make
Make this quilt block pattern link below

I signed up for a quilting class because I loved quilts and had attended some estate auctions in Burlington, Iowa and I couldn’t afford any.(1980’s) I had sewn my own clothes for years and I am pretty good with directions.

My First Quilt

Now, I’m not one to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty crafty. I’ve tackled painting, crochet, and embroidery with relative ease. Always purchasing the worse house in the best area.

Quilting, however, was a whole different ballgame. I mean, how hard could it be to sew a bunch of squares together? Very, it turns out. I spent hours measuring, marking(in the days before a cutter and mat), cutting, and sewing, only to discover that my seams were wonky, my corners uneven, and my quilt resembled something a drunk toddler might produce. After multiple seam rips and profanity-laden outbursts, I finally managed to sew together a passable quilt top.  Or I thought.

Frist thing learned, choose Your Fabric Carefully.
If there’s one thing I learned from my quilt making experiment, it’s that not all fabric is created equal. I have made the mistake of using cheap, flimsy cotton on a quilt, and boy did I regret it. The fabric pulled, puckered, and frayed at the slightest touch. Lesson learned: always invest in high-quality 100% cotton and my rule is purchase at the price you can afford. Your future self will thank you.
my first quilt 
I started my quilt with a clear vision of what I wanted it to look like: it was a class we all came with square cut and share. Yes, I took a class with VERY seasoned quilters and they were terrible in their not welcoming someone new. But I had paid the fee, it was a national teacher, I was young and dumb, I had a babysitter for the day and was determined to learn to quilt.

And…it was pretty good, if I do say so. Well…I thought, I am not giving up and attended 3 weeks later a quilt guild meeting. Not knowing that corner should be square, my were curved, I hand quilted with huge stitches and laughed at, because my binding was quilted down. See my Quilt Here I was crushed, but I made a quilt, my quilt may not have been a work of art, but it was cozy and functional, and that was enough. And, I still use it to this day. I think of those days, not with found memories but with look what I do now !

Despite my initial struggles, I found myself drawn to quilting like a moth to a flame. There was something therapeutic about the rhythmic, repetitive motions of cutting, sewing, and pressing. I find myself lost in a sea of colors and patterns, my worries and stress melting away.

Whenever I wrap myself up in one of  my handmade quilts, I’m reminded the time, the cutting the sewing the pieces of fabric to create something beautiful
So, if you’re feeling like a quilt, get one of my pattern books,  grab some fabric, thread, and a sense of humor, and join me in the wacky, wonderful world of quilting. Who knows what hilarious lessons you’ll learn along the way! I love things with a beginning, middle and end.

Corn and Beans a Quilt Block

This is one of the quilt block from my old Quilt Ladies site and it took off on Pinterest???? I have NO idea how or what makes one quilt pattern do that and other’s not??    But, this quilt block’s name is “Corn and Beans” and being an Iowa girl this quilt block was all about the name. Doing this quilt block you will use many different types, triangles, quarter square triangles and flying geese.
