“I Want You To Know”: A Show by The Brooklyn Quilters Guild

Sorry I need to selfishly not house post and show off this quilt I made for my godbaby who is called Fish. I met my sweet friend, Fish’s mom, on tumblr, so it’s only fair. It’s my first appliqué collage quilt and my third quilt ever. It was a lot of work but so fun!

I made a string quilt several years ago, and it ate up a bunch of my scraps. The foundation I used was paper. To keep things in place and prevent warping and twisting. Some of the strips were barely an inch wide! Here's the result:

I made it for my mom because she looooves scrap quilts. Plenty of errors were made, but it was fun, a good experience, and my mom (a fellow quilter) uses it everyday when watching TV or a movie.

Not a single duplicate fabric in the entire quilt, and barely any noticeable dent in my scraps after I finished. 😂 My dad has dementia and I gave this quilt to him. He tells me all the time “I slept under your quilt last night!” I hope he always remembers where it came from but it’s okay if he doesn’t, I know he loves it.

13 Years of Quilting by Julia Schulte

Why I like it: I loved a lot of the quilts in the sustainable category because of their resourcefulness and commitment to making scraps work. This one, cataloguing 13 years of quilting through a spiral of scraps placed carefully in a gradient, was especially appealing. I'm a huge fan of rainbow quilts in general, and though I doubt these scraps are in the order they were procured, I love that they take us on a journey.

It also reminds me of a similar knitting pattern that was designed to use up scraps of yarn. I think it's called the 10 stitch blanket? You cast on 10 stitches and then work in garter stitch to form a square spiral similar to this, turning the corner in the same way you'd turn a sock heel.
