You see it so much, it's practically a character in the film. It's a Triple Irish Chain of floral prints on a white background - I've been wanting to copy it for years.

I've seen the dvd several times and am sure we spent less than $10 for it. Not only are there wonderful quilts in the book, many of the costumes for the movie had elements of patchwork.Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-37188753275288944022011-03-25T18:44:18.227-06:002011-03-25T18:44:18.227-06:00I have an image in my head of a scene from a movie...I have an image in my head of a scene from a movie, but can't for the life of me place it. Can I comment anyway?<br /><br />The first quilt I ever made (I've only made three...) was when I was engaged, and for our wedding. I even based our wedding colors around it. It was just a small lap quilt, and actually came from a kit. But I did all the quilting by hand. We put it in storage when we moved six years ago, and I haven't thought of it since. Now I want to go pull it out. I have so many memories of quilting it and daydreaming of my future married life :) <br />Thanks for this post.Sabra at Sew a Straight Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176314701386592059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-72455816271910924462011-03-25T12:25:53.662-06:002011-03-25T12:25:53.662-06:00We have a family tradition of tying a quilt at bri...We have a family tradition of tying a quilt at bridal showers. It is much more fun to sit around a quilt talking with one another and getting to know the new in-laws. I have fond memories of being too small to help, so I played underneath the quilt while it was on its frames. As I grew taller, I remember learning how to tie and help. Now, my grandma has passed the assignment down and I'm the one making the quilts. I also have the joy of sitting with my sisters after the shower is over, finishing up what did not get finished so we can take the quilt down. It really is a wonderful, bonding experience.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948173264175645317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-70662609754265395032011-03-25T11:07:41.194-06:002011-03-25T11:07:41.194-06:00The best quilt movie I know is How to Make an Amer...The best quilt movie I know is How to Make an American Quilt. I was watching the BBC Jane Eyre, I think it's from 2006, and there are a couple of beautiful quilts in there. There are also some very interesting bed covers (some quilts, some afghans) in Nanny McPhee. I love your Irish Chain, it's beautiful. I first learned to quilt from my great-grandmother, and she taught me to do everything by hand except quilt. The first one I made is a very small 5-patch doll-size quilt, and Grandma Irene taught me how to tie a quilt. I learned to quilt on my own. But like you, I love to hand quilt. I'll either piece or quilt by hand, but not both. Right now, I'm working on a honeycomb quilt for my niece. I did the top by hand with English paper piecing, but I'm quilting it by machine.Apprentege Medbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118626121614456749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-4836308406117566642011-03-25T10:21:11.270-06:002011-03-25T10:21:11.270-06:00That is gorgeous!That is gorgeous!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302980717646069319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-66632034987856313762011-03-25T04:53:17.439-06:002011-03-25T04:53:17.439-06:00Your quilts are beautiful!

It seems like such a wonderful idea - women coming together for friendship, conversation and then making something beautiful at the same time. My grandmother quilted and those are some of my favorite things in the world. I would also like to try my hand at it but am wondering how in the world to tackle the quilting aspect of it without a big stretcher for it. Maybe you could share how you do it in an upcoming post?<br /><br />PS.

They would hand quilt Hawaiian quilts together, stitch by stitch until each project would be finished.
