Abigail's Sew Along ~ Part Five from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Welcome to the last post in making our Abigail's Doll Quilt. This is the fun and exciting part....where we assemble all of the parts we've made, and make the quilt top!

This is a very unusual little quilt to assemble. I truly believe my Abigail was cut from a larger quilt, and the way it was cut, and the layout of the blocks and such, is exactly what I love about it. It's very unique. The making of the center may seem odd to you...and it is, but follow the directions in the pattern, and ...

Abigail's Sew Along ~ Part Two from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Did you make Half Square Triangles in your sleep last week? I don't mind making them at all....you sew, and sew, and sew while watching a good movie. Win, win!

Back when Abigail would have been learning to stitch and piece, her mama would have given her an assignment of work, and she would have called it a stint.
Here's your stint for the week. You have a lot of chain sewing. That does not mean there's no work involved, though. I am a stickler for measure, measure, measure!! Do as much work as you're ...

Abigail's Doll Quilt ~ Quilt Archaeology Reveal!! from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this sweet old quilt! There are so many things I love about it...the obvious age and wear, the simplicity of the blocks, and the block set. After careful study, I found that this little quilt was cut from a larger quilt that likely had even more wear, and was no longer acceptable to its owner. The quilt has a lindsey/woolsey type of backing fabric, and the binding is also very old and worn, leaving me to believe the quilt was cut and made for a child a very, very ...
