Vintage Quilt Repurposing Challenge 1 of 3 - Cutting

[@nannasallynelson3990]

I really like how you are cutting hearts out of the smallest pieces - very little left over, terrific.

Thanks so much!

I have a double wedding ring quilt that my grandmother made for my parents wedding in 1951. The quilt is VERY tattered and even though I've repaired her twice, I've decided to let her go and do something else with her to spread her love. The repairing of this quilt sparked a passion in me to begin quilting. I now have a regular Babylock machine, a 5' Babylock Coronet (just put a 2 foot extension on her) and last but not least I have a 1950 Singer 15-91 machine that I only paid $49. She's been renovated and works great. Thanks for these ideas.

I love hearing about your sewing machine collection! I have quite a few, too, and they each serve a different purpose! I bet you'll be able to do alot with your grandmother's quilt.

I love that quilt!! I couldn't have cut it up. What is a pop over?

[@m.a.b.e.l]

a popover is my version of a sweatshirt--it has an oversized fit with drop shoulders, and a cotton ribbed neckband (like a sweatshirt).

Is there a pattern for the popover? I'm pretty new to all this but I have a machine and I have a few cutter quilts just waiting for me. thanks

I use my own pattern, but you could use any sweatshirt or top sewing pattern (just make sure that the neck opening is large enough).
