Nancy's Quilts

Mama's Scrap Quilts	The top quilt at the left was started by my mother in the 1960's when I was a teenager. She got busy with life as a farm wife and mother of 5 children and did not finish it. She gave me the unfinished project in 2012 when my husband and I moved back to Missouri to be closer to family and she moved into assisted-living. Finally in 2022 when I was organizing my sewing closet, I found this project and decided I need to finish it once and for all. She had done most of this quilt, she only needed one more 9-patch block and sashing around it. That was soon finished. She had about 3 yards of the red fabric used for sashing in the top quilt, so I used it for the backing and quilted it in diagonal lines on my Singer sewing machine that was my mother's, and that she gave me. Then I had so many 3" squares of fabric left over, that I decided I could make another quilt from them, in her memory. Thus I made the "9-patch blocks on point" at the bottom in the photo to the left. I really have always liked blocks on point. I also used the same red fabric for setting triangles in the bottom quilt, as well as the backing fabric. It was also machine-quilted on the same Singer sewing machine with diagonal lines. With the red, they will make nice Christmas-time lap quilts.
