Ticking Scrap Quilt


Wondering what to do with those scraps of vintage fabric?
I was lucky enough to get some of this vintage featherbed ticking from Miss Wilma in Kentucky...it showed up as scraps in a variety of sizes and I fashioned it and some natural chenille into a baby quilt. Remember that when working with vintage fabrics you should back them with something simple like part of an old quilt or bedspread or some new chenille or muslin quilt backing. This way the old fabrics are the stars of the show!
The thing I love most about this quilt is the hand of the vintage fabrics- they don't make them like this anymore, heavy and soft with beautiful colors. The blue quilt is the last one I have and it is available on my etsy store;)
Warmly, Rebekka
