Isn't it weird how whenever a generation discovers something, they think they invented it? Back in the 1970s we discovered ecology, and invented Earth Day. Young adults today discovered recycling and invented the idea of being "green." But it was our grandparents and great-grandparents, the young adults of the Depression and WWII who…

FeedSackFinds on Instagram: "This is my feedsack #hillstreet quilt top. My daughter’s house in Tasmania has beautiful hilltop views of Launceston and its surrounds. I used 861 equilateral triangles with 3-1/2” finished side length and squared off the top using 82 half triangles. When cutting triangles from a straight edge, I usually start by cutting a half triangle B (swipe). Cutting a full triangle at the start would result in having a section A that is too small to be of use. 🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺 #feedsacks #scrappyquilt #aussiequilter #vintagecotton #simplequiltblocks #quiltwithtriangles #economyquiltblocks #minimizetrash #lovevintage #feedsackfabric #vintagefabric"
. . . an old box stuffed with vintage quilt pieces. In this case, thousands of 1 squares purchased on ebay that some nice quilter neatly strung together with double thread. What was she going to make with all these postage stamp sized pieces? Fortunately, and I love it when this happens, she made one little block so I know that she was planning to make a Scrappy Double Nine-Patch. Unfortunately, she did not use a template to cut out any of the squares, so my blocks will be even smaller after I manage to trim the gazillion tiny pieces. Still . . . thank you, unknown 1930s quilter.

To make these aprons, I cut this cute vintage border print into two pieces, just like I did with the Violet Chintz Aprons. One apron is made with the bottom of the border print, while the other is made from the less interesting top portion of the print. The bottom border apron was easy, with just a bit of checked bias tape and a blue floral print. There aren't any pockets in this one because I didn't want to mess up the tulip print, but there was just enough bias tape left to add some piping to the waistband. I really like this effect, and plan to do it more often. The fabric for the second tulip apron was a little plain, so I added a border and pockets made with one of my favorite feedsacks, together with some vintage unfolded bias tape that came on a humongous roll. Because I felt sort of sorry for this apron (not having the beautiful border tulips and all), I think I went a little crazy with all the trims.
