In 1987, I taught myself the
"quilt as you go" method for making quilts. Shown is one of the quilts I made with this technique that year.
Our youngest daughter (April) was born that year.
I used my own blouses made from Indian cotton as the starting point for this white crazy quilt.
Each 5 inch block was constructed and quilted at the same time using stitch, flip and a sewing machine. The blocks are joined with sashing on the reverse side. I thought this quilt was lost, but I found it yesterday. (read more about that discovery on
100 quilts.
