Quilt Archaeology ~ October Treat ~ Part Four from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Wow - these weeks have flown by so quickly! I've been looking forward to posting each week for both Quilt Archaeology and Monday's With Marcus. Let's get down to Quilt Archaeology business first. Can you believe this is our last week?

Here is where we finished last week.

Now, we're adding setting triangles to turn our quilt center on point. We do this all the time, and piecing setting triangles are fairly straight forward. THE most important thing is to cut the squares in half with precision. Have you ever had your triangle cup? Have you made ...

Quilt Archaeology ~ October Treat ~ Part Three from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

I love meeting like this...that we have a date every Friday. These days, it's about the safest way to get together. It's all very sad and frustrating, isn't it! But....we sew to keep ourselves busy, in a happy place, and sane! Let's get started on our next steps.

We begin by sewing our E and L strips together. Take your time sewing strips. Yes, they're easy but often the raw edges can slip from alignment causing them to be wider or narrower than they should be. Sew slowly, watching to be sure the ...

Quilt Archaeology ~ October Treat ~ Part One from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

Welcome to my October Treat sew along. I always enjoy sewing with friends! In case you are just joining us, my Quilt Archaeology sew alongs are about old, antique quilts I've 'dug up' and want to replicate. Here's the old quilt we will be making.

I made a Double Sawtooth Star for the center of the quilt instead of a single Sawtooth Star because it just felt right. So, we will begin with the smaller Sawtooth Star.

I am assuming everyone has cut their fabrics ahead of time. If you still need the October Treat pattern, it's ...

October Treat ~ Quilt Archaeology Reveal! from Heartspun Quilts ~ Pam Buda

I'm so jazzed!! Today is the day I can reveal my new Quilt Archaeology sew along project, called October Treat!

This sweet antique is the quilt (or quilt block) that inspired me. It has a lot of wonderful elements to it and was fun to play with. While this little gem is very versatile, it always spoke "Halloween" to me!

I took a little creative license with this quilt as I added a small black star inside the larger black star. The original antique only has one star. If you ...
