I have a large number of Christmas fabric squares. I can't decide how to put them together, maybe just sew them at random or make a disappearing 9 patch with them. I made one of them once, but not with Christmas fabric, turned out nice.

Oh please do not tell me there is a postage stamp quilt police....I'd be sunk.
But then, I don't follow the rules for most of my quilts. I figure I can always say "well, they're supposed to be imperfect".....!!!! |
Oh man I'm so excited about this now! Ya'll are such a help! I'll be able to collect these so much quicker. I knew about Charm quilts & thought Postage Stamp quilts were a type of Charm quilt. I didn't know that it was to get a husband. I've got a good one. 28 1/2 yrs! No charms for me! Thanks so much!!! This will definitely be a loooong time project. I think I will do some strip piecing with this to speed it up but it will still be my leader & ender project. I like the "my rules" concept. Ya'll keep me smiling & learning.
Thanks again. BEV |
If the purpose of a charm quilt is to get a husband, how large do you suppose it had to be to get a really good one? And how small could I go to get just a good man to have around a few days a week? I'm not really interested in having one around full time, but could definitely appreciate a part-time "husband!" :XD:

I think this will be my "leader & ender" quilt. |

I think this will be my "leader & ender" quilt.[/quote I personally had never heard that the Postage Stamp was not supposed to duplicate any fabrics. I have a Postage Stamp Quilt that my GGG Grandmother made in the year 1840 .... and if you go to the Posting I made on it at .... www.quiltingboard.com/t-88451 .... you can and will see what she did, and every inch of the quilt is "handsewn and quilted", with the exception of the binding, which I put on by machine. |
thank you for letting me know. I also do this but I never gave it a name. What a good idea to keep sewing together 2 inch pieces from all the projects we do. I am so going to start doing this, thanks!
