Matilda Jane Quilt

Well....I was super nervous about starting this quilt for a friend.

It's a lot of pressure when you're dealing with $1500 worth of Matilda Jane clothes!

So, I just closed my eyes and made the first cut.

I cut all of the dresses so they lay flat.

Then I ironed some light weight fusible to the back side 

so all of the tucks and gathers would stay in place.  

Then I got to the real cutting!

I used Magic Numbers for my piecing method.  

I decided using multiple sized squares would be the best way to avoid tons of waste!

This quilt is for a friend of mine made from her only daughters old clothes.

So I really wanted it to be reminiscent of the actual outfits.

So I kept details like pockets, gathers, and ruffles.

I had to cut notches where seams were to bulky and didn't lay flat.

It should end up being twin sized. 

And it might take me a loooong time to complete this baby!

But I'm having a ton of fun working on it!

Thanks for popping by!
