Over 20 years ago, my mum hand-made a patchwork quilt for my old Victorian bed. |
Herself and my grandma sourced scraps of fabric everywhere, some of which were vintage at the time, some of which have now become vintage! Each patch tells a tale and has a history. |
I love these 2 patches - which look as though they have been cut from old souvenir tea towels! |
The majority of fabric seemed to be pretty vinatge florals which may have come from old aprons. |
These 1950's style patterns, probably using old curtains, remind me of Orla Kiely prints |
Stars, stripes and dots pre-Cath Kidson! |
Remenants of baby grows/blankets that myself and my brother had out-grown, a scrap of fabric from my mums summer dress and old shirts of my daddy's were all used to create the quilt! |
I like this travelling patch! |
Taken from my grandmas old ball gowns? |
The quilt getting another airing! |
