Buongiorno, Quilters!
How do YOU use quilting practice pieces?
I love to turn my practice pieces and blocks into small works that I use around the house.
I call them “vase quilts” and I try to match the fabrics to the flowers.
A Quilt by Any Other Name
I made this log cabin (the cut size of the logs is 1 inch, finished size is 1/2″) with hand-dyed fabrics. I used to dye fabrics a lot! Then I used it to test a few different motifs.
(See another log cabin quilting practice piece here)
To make the vase quilt, I just added a binding.
But, a quilt by any other name is still a quilt.
Ask my grandson, Hugh!
What about YOU?
How do YOU use your practice pieces?
Do YOU make “vase quilts”?
Do YOU make baby blankets?
What is your favorite way to use quilting practice pieces?
We’d LOVE to hear!
May all of YOUR quilts become well-used and well-loved!
