Vintage Quilts Inspiring New Creations with "Island Batik"

This month the "Island Batik" ambassadors are re-creating "Vintage Quilts"

using batiks.

Many patterns from the mid 1900's were created,
with motifs that children would love.

They were cut from templates and carefully pieced...

...jump forward almost a century. The rotary cutter is our modern cutting tool, 

revolutionizing how we cut and put together our quilts.

I for one, can't imagine template cutting anymore. 

I've done it, and have no desire to go back there again.

LOL!!

I do, however love figuring out how to update those "vintage" patterns.

 "Beam me up Scotty" 

I'm sure those quilter of days gone by, would be thinking just that!

Can you image, what their reaction to a rotary cutter might be?

We have come so far, and yet I wonder what quilting might be 100 years from now.

All I know for sure is, that I won't be here to find out about it.

:-)

This quilt was made with fabrics provided to me, by Island Batik.

Yep, that's how they spoil their ambassadors and we do love them for it!

I've got a brand new wall paper now too!

ahhhh...life is good.

til next time...

Keep on Stitchin'
