Love Can Do That

Latest Vintage Sheet Quilt. 
Just a simple layout of triangle squares.  


 Was inspired by this "loved" on the back of a quilt. 
Hers was awesome! 

Wish I would have made mine darker. 
Kind of gets lost. 
But love can do that to you..... 


I tried a new machine quilting design.
New for me. 
 Inspired by this.
 
My brain usually only goes circular.
But I pulled out some straight,
jagged-y stops and turns. 
But love can do that to you, too......
  
 
This was made for my hipster niece 
who was married last weekend in Portland.
It may be a new thing I do for my wedding quilts.  
And baby quilts.
And graduation quilts.
And Anniversary quilts. 
And quilts that keep me warm at night. 
I love 'love'.

    1. I think it was 63ish" x 75ish"???
      I think the triangle squares were 8 or 9".
      Sorry for the non-specifics!

    1. I put it on with heat and bond, sewed around the edges and then I machine quilted it.
      I’m hoping to do a little tutorial on it. Just want to get better pictures for my next quilt.
      Watch for it. Thanks!!

  11. Very, very pretty! And I LOVE that the "Love" is subdued -- almost like a little well kept secret!
