Vintage Patchwork - July project


Vintage Patchwork (by PamBuda) project #7, “Scarlet”. 

When I started this monthly project back in January, I cut out each month’s project (as Pam suggests in the book) and placed them in labeled bags. I did not try to match Pam’s fabrics, I just chose 40 ten inch squares of my favorite fabrics. I found it interesting that the colors for this little project were so close to Pam’s.

This is the first one that I had trouble with. I am not the best at following directions. I suggest that you pay close attention to Pam’s tips
if you want yours to come out correctly! Her message and helpful hints were spot on - if only I had read them first!! I had to “improvise” after I realized that I did not adhere to the written instructions. I was able to fix the problem, but I admit I took the photo from as far back as I could!!

It is still sweet and will become part of someone’s Christmas package this year. Thanks Pam for another great project and I will pay closer attention to the next one!

  2. I think it looks great. I also don't know how you get everything done!!
    My intention had been to try and make at least half of these projects throughout the year. Here we are midway and I've made one. I need to dive in and make another.

  11. What a sweet little quilt. I'm always impressed by your minis, especially knowing how tiny some of the pieces are. I tend not to read the directions, but I'm learning....
