UGA baby quilt top

The young couple down the street is expecting baby Charlie this week... after the German block exchange I had left over blocks & fabric, and since the UGA (University of Georgia) colors are red, white, and black I thought of no better use for my scraps than a UGA baby quilt.

Even though you can't tell the borders in this picture they are the token black for the UGA colors...

I still have 16 blocks left over... so you guessed it... a small square "summer" quilt... just the blocks, flannel batting with a black binding. Go Dawgs...

What do you think??? K

Harris H 9

Well, I've finished my three sets of blocks for the TreadleOn Block Exchange... some exchanges have an interesting requirement for those participating... This one the blocks were to be made on a German made people powered sewing machine with the colors being reds with creams and light tans.

Inspired to use my German handcrank I purchased three different reds and coordinating lights... since I've lived in Georgia for over half of my life I couldn't resist the UGA bulldog fabric when I saw it... It also turns out that we have a UGA baby due just two doors down... so those extra blocks and fabrics will go into a red, black and white baby quilt for the young Baldwin baby. I wanted to send in three different block sets, 12 in each set.

My sewing machine was purchased in Tifton at the only antique shop I know of... this Harris H9 was sold in England probably after the war because the national original is not stated on the machine... just the word foreign to let the buyer know that it was not an English product. It is a sweet sewing machine....
