When I posted the list of projects I hoped to work on this year, I had a lot of interest in these 2 quilts and these aren't even good pictures
They're currently at Jackie's waiting to be quilted. I was processing my scraps last year and I liked the way these incorporated my low volume prints.
Several readers contacted me, asking about the patterns. I've replied back, but I thought I'd share the information here as well since I had so many inquiries. They are both in this book that I bought in 2022.
I thought I had written about it at some point, but I've been unable to find reference to it. There are so many great scrappy quilts in here.
This gives you a better look at Knots & Chains
Here's a better picture of Logs & Bricks from the book
And then for each quilt, Kim gives you an alternate layout. I like playing with designs so this is a great addition.
Here's another
Here's a link to a trunk show I saw that made me purchase the book when it was first available
I think this was right before Martingale closed it's doors. I hope this helps those of you that were interested. Most of these are on my radar to make at some point, but so far I've only pieced 3 and only this one is finished.
I could make every single quilt and not have to buy a thing except a backing or two.
I don't buy a lot of quilt books, but this one is a keeper. I even had it spiral bound and I'm glad I added it to my library.






Your quilt is definitely a scrap quilt but it is so lovely! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous... so much to look at! And you can not beat Kim Brackett for great scrap quilt ideas... I have all of her books and I've done several of her patterns and more are on my list of quilts I want to make!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that these two quilts generated so much interest. They have a warm, old-time feeling that appeals to a lot of people. Thank you for sharing the book title for these scrap quilts. I was able to find a copy on eBay so I can make my own.
