Last night I was
looking for a quick project to work on.
I remembered months ago seeing a photo of a pine burr quilt and the
directions. I saved them thinking it
would be a good use of scrap squares.
Here is a photo from those directions.
The Pine Burr quilt has been named the official quilt of Alabama.
I pulled out my
scrap bin of 3 ½" squares, cut a muslin foundation and batting. Each square of fabric gets folded twice and
pressed into a small triangle ( Prairie Point style ) so it is 4 thicknesses of
fabric. I only added 6 rounds and
decided to finish a different way. I
can NOT imagine a whole block, much less a whole quilt, being made this way
even without the batting. There are
sooooo many overlapping layers of fabric to sew through. On mine I had also added
a piece of heat resistant batting so it would make a protective trivet. I’m pretty sure this will be one of a kind.
