This is a pattern that my mammaw used to use for her quilts, and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen it or knows the name? She passed away in 89(I think) and my mom gave me her sewing basket where I found this a few years ago. I'd love to make a quilt with her pattern. Any ideas??

A few pieces that she had already sewed together

and a single piece

I have no idea of most quilt names, Tonya. But that would make an awesome quilt. And I would love to leave a wavy edge all around it too. No border.

That's what I was thinking Tina- I love the "scalloped" look. I think I am going to try to get some neat looking material and make small ones for the girls, maybe for Christmas or their birthdays.

I looked and looked for that type of pattern Tonya and didn't find anything

That is so pretty Tonya and that pattern will make a beautiful quilt too!

Ohh cool what an interesting design! Looks easy enough to do too.. are you going to finish it Tonya?

Tonya · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 15, 2007, 08:47:32 AM »

Thank You SOOOOOOOOO much Wrennie!! Now I can have a name for my quilt(once I get my butt in gear and make one). I won't be using the pieces that I have(mammaw's ones), I want to save them. You rock, Wrennie!!

wow wrennie you good!
cant wait to see ya get started on it tonya,

Yup, it's an applecore. I've been wanting to make one of those for years now! I saw one made out of flannel, with the edges frayed (if you know what I mean) and it looked so neat. I'm almost disappointed that Wrennie beat me to it though!

Just would like to mention: It's not that easy to do because you have to pin each and every curve together before you sew and then you have to make sure that they are sewn together straight (not crooked). Sewing curves together like that are a pain because you have to sew a concave shape into a convex shape. But they look fabulous. Keep us updated, Tonya!

What an awesome quilt! Love the pattern too but it sure does look hard.

Tonya · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 07:39:56 AM »

I am thinking of doing some cutting today and trying to sew a few pieces so I can get a feel for how hard this is gonna be......I'll let you all know!

christy · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 09:37:41 AM »

doin a sample is a good idea! hope you get the feel for it, doin round edges is hard for me wich is why i stick to squares lol i should practice more at it theres alot of nice patterns with round edges

Tonya · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 11:46:21 AM »

Well, I got a few pieces sewn together.....not too bad. I do have a bit of offset, but I think I will be able to fix that once I add more pieces. Here is a pic of what I have right now

Tina · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 12:08:45 PM »

That is looking so good, Tonya. Makes me want to try it, sorta.

Tonya · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:10:18 PM »

Getting a little more diffucult as the pieces go together, but I am getting the hang of it!! What I have done now-

Not sure I like these materials together. One has a TINY bit of stretch to it and the other one kinda wants to unravel. It'll work for a starter piece, tho!!

Penny · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:12:34 PM »

Good start so far Tonya....i really like the colors too, very pretty!!

Keep us posted ok,

Triss · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:17:14 PM »

Looks good Tonya. The pieces are laying together very nicely.

Tina · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:26:15 PM »

I am loving watching this come together. It's inspiring. I might start putting my afghan together, too.

christy · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:36:21 PM »

tonya you did an awsome job!!! looks good!

Tonya · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:46:27 PM »

I don't know about awesome....you can't see the little stuff like I can.

Penny · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 01:55:04 PM »

Who cares about the little things, that'll all work out, i think its great!

Tina · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 02:12:30 PM »

How big are these 'apple cores', Tonya? It is hard to tell scale in your pictures.

Tonya · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 02:45:16 PM »

Tina they are....ummm....where is my tape measure? They are 6 inches long and 4 inches in the narrowest point of the short side. Does that make sense?? Here is my hand for scale.
