This baby quilt started out as an unfinished quilt from a yard sale, the same one where I bought the quilt we haul down to the river and spread on the rocks. The frog print was really cute and it was only a quarter and it looked like it would be a great start to a baby quilt...
I probably should have looked a little closer. Those weren't solid strips of the novelty print. Instead, it was cut into six inch squares and pieced into strips. With a decorative zig zag stitch.
Why would anyone do that? I wonder if she didn't know the settings on her sewing machine, or if that odd serpentine zig zag was a deliberate choice.
I cut it back into squares and did what I could with the frog print and the navy blue print and the bit of blue sheet that was left over from Teenage Daughter's latest dressmaking project. It's not what I was picturing in my head, but it'll do.
The froggies have been rescued and revived! Perhaps this was a practice piece and that's why it ended up discarded? In any case you have saved it from the blender!
ReplyDeleteI like how you took your find and turned it into something of your own. I like it!
