Quilt Pattern Changed to New Quilt Pattern for Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all, Mother’s, Sisters and Girl Friends. We can only do this all together and with each heart we step as one. Today, I am continuing to change up traditional quilt patterns. The quilt pattern block has a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.  The Complete quilt pattern book is at My pattern shop  

The first quilt pattern is a traditional quilt block, the second is MINE, all dressed up.

There are a lot of way to make half-square triangles, I like the add 7/8″ method, as I find I can piece them to the right size pretty much all the time. Here is my how to for triangles

How to Mend an Old Quilt – Beth Ann Doing

I receive an email like this about three times a month. LONG ago, when home with kids this is what I did. I repaired old quilt, PLEASE, remember this is NOT a quick project, but so worth your time, how to mend an old quilt. 

The Question: “I am trying to repair a quilt my mother made me for my wedding 48 years ago the bindings were torn by so much use as well as some of her beautiful star patches, I have separated the binding am not sure how to replace some triangle patches of her lone star quilt can you advise me I am a beginner have been watching a lot of videos decided I would start with this beautiful quilt that needs some fixing so I can hand it down to my daughter she adored her grandmother”  

How to Repair an OLD Quilt  I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do ! I am doing 100% cotton quilt, usually from  1940-50’s THEY ARE NOT MUSEUM QUALITY QUILTS, THEY ARE LOVED AND USED QUILTS. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND DO NOT EMAIL YOUR NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT OLD QUILTS AND WASHING. I HAVE HEARD IT ALL.  That being said, really who wants to work on, use, repair or sleep under a dirty quilt??? These are LOVE quilts. 

 Three blocks in this quilt needed attention,
