Liberty of London Craft Quilt Project Packet #2 - Eyeglass Case

I just posted a new kit in my etsy shop featuring Liberty of London fabrics. The kit includes everything you will need to finish this fun patchwork project. The patchwork is done on a fusible template that allows you to press the squares unto the template and then fold and stitch, no messing around with tiny squares getting eaten by the feed dogs...in case you are wondering what that sinister feed dog is...

Antique Civil War Era Fabric Miniature Quilt

Last week I came across this tiny miniature quilt in a box of unfinshed projects...(I swear I will finish all of these one day). The quilt is just 8X8 inches and is made from 19th century fabric that I have been collecting for a number of years. Many of the scraps have been taken from old quilt blocks that never ended up in a quilt...(I guess leaving unfinished projects is nothing new).

All that was need was a bit of hand quilting and the addition of a binding. I used a prized piece of rare antique toile on the back..luckily I have 2 more pieces of this left. It is so hard to part with all these lovely old scraps and making miniatures is a wonderful way to preserve a collection so that it can be enjoyed and not stuck in one of my "treasure" boxes under the bed...I guess you could say that unfinished projects are ALSO treasures.

....and of course you can find this little keepsake here.
