Vintage Chenille Baby Quilt

It's been a while since I've made anything from
"my cabinet".

For those who might be new to my blog,

at the beginning of COVID, I began pulling projects from

my never ending supply in my cabinet and getting them done.

I was able to complete quite a few projects and make some space.

This project was made from leftover pieces of vintage chenille fabrics.

A few years ago I made a baby quilt for a great niece from

6" blocks I had purchased at the mid-Atlantic quilt show.

The quilt was so soft and cuddly.

The leftover squares had waited long enough to be made into something.

I didn't have a lot of precut squares, but did have a little yardage, 

so cut the yardage to size.

One problem I had with these squares that I didn't have with the first quilt

was I couldn't use my walking foot to quilt them.

It kept getting stuck and wouldn't go over the bumps and puffy parts.

 

I ended up tying the quilt in the center and at the intersections of the blocks.

 

It's a soft and cuddly quilt,

backed with vintage looking cotton from my stash.

 

I don't know that I would buy squares like this again

since they were a challenge to sew together and quilt,

but they make a pretty quilt.

 The true colors are brighter then what is shown here.

 

This one will go into the donate pile.

Happy Quilting!
