Vintage quilt fabric patches stashbags new to Rag Rescue website

I acquired a small old patchwork quilt which although large was very damaged. As the designs were superb and vintage we decided to unpick the quilt and save the good pieces.

I have washed all of the fabrics and bagged them up into stashbags containing 10 patches. These can be used for your sewing projects or retained as examples of designs .

Victorian and early 20th century quilt fabric patches stashbags

I acquired an old patchwork quilt which although large was very damaged. As the designs were superb and very old we decided to unpick the quilt and save the good pieces.

The majority of the fabrics used in the quilt were Victorian but some were early 20th century. I think the quilt was made in the early 20th century using a mix of what was then old fabric and new ones.

I have washed all of the fabrics and bagged them up into stashbags containing 6 patches. These can be used for your sewing projects or retained as examples of designs from long ago.

One of my favourite quilters

Once a week I look at my favourite blogs. This week I found that 'Gunnels' had sold one of the wonderful quilts that she had made. I think that this work is spectacular and especially as the subject matter 'Near the Sea' is very close to my heart as my home is only a stones throw away from the sea.

Just look at the workmanship on this quilt, it is an inspiration to us all.
