New old Quilt Revisited with Sizes from Humble Quilts

Many of you asked for sizes so you can make this little charmer.

When asking for sizes of orphan blocks there is a reason they were left out of a quilt! lol

The upper left block measures 6.5"x7" across.

The upper right measures 6.5" x7" also.

The lower left measures 7"x7"

The lower left measures 6 3/4"x 7" across.

I guess I would suggest making them all 6" or 7" finished.

I'd love to see yours if you make one!

The lower border finishes at 1 1/2"

The entire quilt with binding ...

New Old Little Quilt from Humble Quilts

Here's a little 4 block quilt that I cannot even remember where I purchased it. I thought it would be a fun little one to finish into a small quilt.

I showed you close ups of the sweet fabric in an earlier post.

The one side has the goofy border. Goofy, charming in a humble kind of way!

I was able to use the flour sack I shared the other day. It was perfect! No batting.

This was in my "antique or vintage" fabric drawer. Someone gave it to me and I'm sorry I do not recall who ...

A New Old Quilt Project from Humble Quilts

I'm working on a little "new" project that is a vintage quilt block.

Actually it is 4 little blocks together.

I used the flour sack I shared the other day as the backing!

It is humble but has some sweet fabric pieces.

Love that cheddar!

I'm doing some simple hand quilting.

Friday night we went to a local winery for my birthday. This view is killer! They had a local band that plays Beatles. It was a lot of fun.

Then the next morning I was up early and on the road to meet my daughter at a ...

Billie's Guild Box from Humble Quilts

I stayed in a lovely home with a wonderful host named Billie. She shared a box of vintage and antique blocks, bits and pieces that were donated to the guild. A knowledgeable woman took the box, documented all the blocks and presented a trunk show to the guild. They are going to donate the box of goods back to the woman so can use them for future teaching opportunities.

Here is peak into the cool textiles!

YES to red and cheddar!

Uhhh a little humble.

Love that black print!

Not even a close substitution on this one! lol

This looks ...

Grandma Mae’s Economy Block from The Cutting Table Quilt Blog - A Blog for Quilters by Quilters

The Grandma Mae's Economy Block Quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Mae Emma Plumb was a talented lady.

She sewed and painted and baked excellent pies. She kept a lovely flower garden and volunteered countless hours crafting costumes and planning skits for the local Boy Scout troop. And, best of all, she made quilts.

Years and years have passed – four generations, in fact – but by some magic, one of Mae’s quilts still exists. It belongs to Mae’s great-granddaughter Kate, our very own Missouri Star marketing manager.

Of course, when Jenny saw Grandma Mae’s antique quilt, she fell head-over-heels in love! She did a bit of research and found ...

2020 Antique Block Challenge from Humble Quilts

Here are the quilts from the challenge I put out last year in Houston and then recently to any reader of Humble Quilts. We started with a vintage block and created from there.

I'm calling mine Licorice Allsorts, since the pink and black reminded me of that candy. I shared a sneak peak of the zig zag border. I use this border treatment a lot. It looks more complicated than it is.

Next up in Lizzy's Here's the link to her blog post sharing more about her challenge quilt- HERE.

Here's her pretty split backing.

Next ...

Itty Bitty Basket Blocks from Humble Quilts

My lovely online friend Mary B had these adorable little blocks. These are hers pieced into a top.

She was generous enough to ask if I'd like 12 to make my own sweet quilt. Thank you Mary!

Here are mine!

A little wonky and completely charming! They measure about 4".

More of Houston Quilt Show from Humble Quilts

Here is an antique block I purchased from Mary Koval-I'd love to have more than one block, but that's about all I can afford! LOL It is so sweet. I think the upper right was supposed to have a red bud but the maker ran out of room. The top and left will be difficult to do much with since the applique is right up to the edge of the quilt. For now I am enjoying it on my design wall.

And if you are interested:

Here are a few categories that YOU can enter quilts in. This ...
