- Join me as I bring new life to an antique quilt my husband and I discovered at an antique mall in Kentucky while visiting our daughter and her husband! This timeless design is a treasure, and I'm thrilled to share how I recreated it with a modern touch.
This intermediate-to-advanced pattern might look challenging, but with time, patience, and a little determination, you can piece it together in no time. Whether you're an experienced quilter or looking for a new project to grow your skills, this quilt is sure to inspire.

This is such a beautiful quilt. I enjoyed your video and how you made it all come together! Perfect place to display it!

Beautiful...
Thank you Jules, so glad you like it!!!
I’m blessed without realizing it. I haven’t been a quilter long but I can look at a quilt and instantly pick the sewing pattern out.
Hi Mike, yes you are not many of us can do that!!! I love looking at a quilt and figuring out how its made!!!
Michellene, firstly, did I spell your name correctly? I love your recreation of this antique quilt. So beautiful, thanks for sharing with us! -Tamara
Hi Tamera, close on the name, thats how its spelled in German. My name is spelled Micheline which is the French version. I'm so glad you liked our rendition of the old beauty!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!
Thank you for initially breaking down this quilt block. It was fun to see where the parts are! What a great find! I think repairing a scrappy quilt may be a little easier for finding the "new" fabrics for completion.
I had a lot of joy in using many of the 100% cotton shirts that I had thrifted in this project. I can only imagine that there are many clothing items in the antique quilt as well. Trust me the antique is well past repair or I would definitely do it. There has to be at least 100 holes and wear spots in the antique with no way to really repair many of them, even the batting has worn away!!!
That turned out so pretty and you found the perfect spot for it. Makes your space look happy. That old quilt was a wonderful find. Thanks for breaking it down for us. Have a blessed week.
Hi Diana, thank you so much for your really kind words, you made my day!!!!
I used to have a partner's desk, myself .mom bought it from a railroad station that was closing in Dayton, Ohio in the late 1960's. I had to part with during a change of life situation. I do miss it, terribly. It broke my heart to donate it.
I have several very special pieces that would just kill me to part with!!! You can live vicariously through me and my use of the desk!!! Again, Thanks so much for your comments!!!!
Thank you for the pattern and giving life to antique quilts❤
Michele, it was a labor of love. I will show you all what I do with the other two that I found in a later video!!!
Thank you
You are so welcome Gloria and thank you for watching and commenting on my videos!!!
This quilt is gorgeous. Are you going to repair it or only store it?
Hi Barbara, I'm afraid it is beyond repair. I know it didn't look bad on camera but honestly it is just disintegrating!!! I have stored her away in a box and will just pull her out to ooh and ahh over every once in a while!!!
This version of the reproduction of the beautiful find of a square-in-a-square, on point antique quilt was very nicely presented to us. It was beautifully explained and with great close up shots during the sewing, with detailed voiced thinking of color choices & placement, for us, many thanks!
Really? Nailed it in place? Ummm. Couldn't you have used a clamp style hanger, or 2-3 of the wooden clamp style with a marble inbetween the 2 wooden pieces, so only 3 holes in the wall? Ouch, is what I felt as you nailed it in place.
Hi Nancy, I'm so glad you liked the quilt. I'm sure there is a better way to hang my quilts but I am not too picky. If I were making show quilts it would be another thing entirely but these are just for me to look and and enjoy and honestly I only used little tiny thumb tacks so the holes should close right back up again with a little steaming. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!!!
The pattern is ocean waves. Bountifully Quilt
I looked ocean waves up in Barbara Brackmans encyclopedia! What fun to learn new names for these blocks!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!!!!
Wonder the name of tgat block? I've seen 3 other antique quilts that were made this way. Beautiful
The block, I learned from someones comment is actually called Ocean Waves. I looked it up in Barbara Brackmans Encyclopedia and it is shown many ways, even with hexagons!!! I just love it!!!! Thank you so much for commenting!!!!
