The Mormon Quilt  email this discussion to a friend?

A week or so ago I started a discussion on reaching goals. One of my goals at the time was to finish my younger brother’s quilt, a Mormon quilt. I call it a Mormon quilt simply b/c he’s Mormon and the picture on the quilt is of the St. Louis Temple. Well, it’s finally done…I actually finished it several days ago but had to wait till I could get a pic of it since it takes 2 ppl to hold it up and one to take the pic. I still have to put the batting and the back sheet on it and tack it but here is the top of the quilt for those of you who wanted to see it. I am so glad that the hard part is over with. I think he’ll like it. At the top I put LDS for Latter Day Saints.

What do you think? Do you think he’ll like it? If you could pick a design for your, what would it be?

I have to see the picture first before I responded as i took this discussion from my mail.

Such a beauty! After attaching the batting and the back, and quilting it, you have one happy brother!

When I quilted our bed covers, my hubby was not interested in it. When He sw how much one costs when we went malling, he was surprised that they are really expensive! Huh! They were expensive because i did it even if it took me months to finish one. Sad that now, i seldom sew quilts because i have been too busy with work.

Well, I have 3 brothers and all three have picked out their designs. The oldest wants one with a US flag and a Mexico flag...he's always liked Mexico. My youngest brother wants one with a Rottwieler dog on it. So, I have a couple already on the work table then I'll tackle another for another brother.

Your quilt is beautiful and he will love it not only for that but the love and time you put into making it for him. That is a time consuming thing to take on for someone.
For me I think I'd like to have one with a castle on it with turrents and all a whole country scene. Trees and horse drawn carrage. I know it sounds silly but I love castles and the country. I have never seen a quilt like that. Since I can't make them anymore I can't make me one. I've never made me one, just everyone else. Now I can't. It's just a thought.


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563)  4 years ago

That sounds beautiful...I love castles as well. Especially those with lots of turrents.

Thank you for the picture of the quilt. I have never seen one like that before and I know your brother will love it and appreciate all the work you did for him. I am not sure what quilt pattern I would like to have off hand, there are so many pretty ones. My grandmother made Little Dutch Girl for me and my mother made a patch work quilt that is from scraps of materials she had left over from sewing over the past many years and that one is special to look at too, so many of the scraps that I can recognize as things she made for herself, my daughter, and myself.


myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563)  4 years ago

I haven't seen a Little Dutch Girl design in a long time...also Sunbonnet Sue...those used to be really popular. I made one a long time ago with baby clothes from my Nephew...I still have it tucked away.

Well I do not know your brother but I know that he will love the quilt. Not so much for the design although it is great, but because you made it for him. It will be something he can cherish and remember you by forever. As for me if I were to design a quilt it would be full of my animals pictures, past and present. As you probably already know I work a lot with animals and all of my children are rescues of some sort of the other. So it would be something that I could look at and remember some of those gone and those present and what they have meant to me.
