Two old tops, one new quilt for our bed!
Here’s the tag from the top I purchased:
And equally inexpensive, a scrappy quilt top makes for the reverse of our “new” quilt:
Which side do you like better?
Why not two separate quilts?
First, more bang for the buck: Hired the amazing longarmer Carol Heisler-Lawson of Lorac Designs — https://carolheisler-lawson.com/ — to bring her hand-guided artistry to a single project.
Second reason for making this quilt reversible? Versatility, natch, but in our new home, an apartment with limited storage space, I will have to fold and put away only one bulky bedcover when I switch to our lightweight summer quilt.
Of course, there was more work to go into this project. Before the quilting, I covered small and large mildew stains on the scrappy top with vintage and repro fabric blocks and patchwork units.
