The Rescue Quilts – #4 – The Landslide Quilt ( quilt reveal ) – The New

Hey y’all. It feels like a long time since I did a quilt reveal. This thought made me go back and look and the last reveal I did was early May for this quilt. That’s not to say I haven’t worked much since then. I’ve got several quilt tops in the making, just no finishes. But today that changes! It feels good to finish a quilt. And this quilt feels especially good because it’s for my son, who apparently is pretty easy to please. So if you read my post from last Friday then you...

Rescue Quilts – finishing vintage quilt tops – The Pie Quilt – How I find them

But not always. Sometimes I’m just struck. This is one of those different patterns. I like curve piecing. I also haven’t mastered curve piecing yet, so I think that makes me like it that much more. I was thinking this one had some feed sack fabrics in it, but I’m no expert. I’ve heard that feed sack has some holes...
