Homestead- Finale 2024 Quilt-a-long from Humble Quilts

Here is a tiny part of the binding of the original quilt.

I neglected to get a shot of the backing. I do know I love to find a surprise print on the back of antique quilts.

Here is my surprise backing.

Here is the binding I used.

Here is the antique that you may be able to zoom in on and see the quilting.

I stitched in the ditch (by machine) around the 9 patches, green squares and setting squares. Then hand quilted a 2" grid through the entire quilt.

It is your quilt, finish as you'd like ...

Homestead Quiltalong Part 2 from Humble Quilts

Here is the reproduction green I used to finish the double 9 patch blocks.

I LOVE the green in the original quilt!

We will cut eighteen (18) - 3 1/2" squares from the green print. (Or whatever your chosen color is)

Use 2 matching 9 patch and 2 green squares, piece as shown above.

Make 9 blocks. Your blocks should measure 6 1/2".

Put on your design wall and admire your work!

Have a terrific weekend!

Homestead- 2024 Sewalong from Humble Quilts

This was an antique quilt I saw at Homestead Hearth this year! The larger version is more effective than the little one we will be doing, but both are still so charming!

Humble Quilts Homestead will measure 25" square so it will make a cute table topper.

Such a simple quilt but visually so pleasing.

Every nine patch has a red center.

The other parts of the nine patch will be up to you.

You can see the original tan binding in the nine patch photos above. This is what I used for the main fabric. I wish my pink ...

HOMESTEADING from Q-BITS

I've always loved the architecture of log cabins and wanted to someday own one; but that never happened. That doesn't mean that I wanted to endure a pioneer lifestyle. I admire my ancestors that did, but I didn't turn out to be an outdoor or make-do, rugged individual. So, I now live vicariously through log cabin quilts with their many variations.

In spite of its small size this quilt turned out to be consuming. I spent a lot ...
