Thrifted Vintage = Modern Quilts

[@debbiejohnson7199]

They turned out so cute! I am not a mathematician either! I just continue until it works for me.

[@merrymabelmarket]

I SO understand!

[@deebaldwin2011]

Oh how I love these! I get so excited when I see a new video from MerryMabelMarket!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for watching!! And, for your kind words.

[@thisboymomlife]

Yes!!! Same!!

[@patriciacrafton92]

Another great video! I can truly feel the joy you have in quilt making and bringing blocks back to life! You inspire me to do so much, please don’t stop making these happy videos!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for your wonderful encouragement!!

[@joanieartspringer8551]

Yes, please, cornerstones! Love your enthusiasm and creativity. I learn so much from you. Thank you! ❤️

[@merrymabelmarket]

A future video possibility! Thanks for voting!

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

They all turned out beautiful!

[@Susietacoma]

Who knew that the leaves 🍁 would look so bright and gorgeous? This was a total surprise and a testament to your artistic abilities. 💕😘

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much!

[@MBird-ld6uv]

These all turned out so lovely 😍 my favorite is the leaf one. The colors are so vibrant!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Mine too! It turned out SO beautiful!!

[@terryanderson6153]

You are so good at picking colors to go with those vintage blocks. Way to go!! I love them.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peggersf9709]

Wow, ALL are beautiful. But my favorite is the leaves. A striking quilt. ❤

[@merrymabelmarket]

Good choice!

[@stlmama7643]

Great hint to put bias against bias. I just love to see the beautiful old handwork rescue process. I have things stuck away in my cedar chest for this purpose - some from family and some from sales. So many projects, so little time!

[@merrymabelmarket]

And SO MUCH future fun to be had!!

[@rhondaswayze9670]

I had my doubts about the leaves and then it ended up being my favorite! Well done on all of them. I don’t do math either but like quilting and knitting, both which can be math weighty.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Yes!! I look for every trick to skip the math...

[@caitlinmatthews1401]

The video I didn’t know I needed to see. How fun, and all 3 quilts are spectacular. A year ago I found some hand embroidered things and didn’t know how to bring life to them - but now I have some ideas. And YES that blue with green cornerstones was perfect!!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

I hope you have SO much fun playing with your pieces!

[@peggybeach3301]

Totally LOVED all of these projects❤ I do have random vintage unfinished items and some finished...you have got my ideas rolling now...thanks for being so cheerful and inspiring ✨️

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wonderful! It is so satisfying to make "new" out of "old".

[@vangiebrake2295]

Wow what a great video. They all turned out beautifully. Thank you for doing this. Please consider doing another one with the oddly shaped pieces you showed at the end. Really enjoyable. I have some old pieces too and you've certainly ignited my inclination to do something with them!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Great idea! I'll bring it up at our next meeting.

[@judithvillarreal7064]

They're all so beautiful!

[@denisestilling2810]

Wow…the falling leaf quilt…I was awestruck! The flower basket embroidery was so precious and precise.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you. They were all so fun to make.

[@steviebear359]

I love your videos! You are so positive and uplifting, and it just makes me wanna work through my fabric stash!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Love that! I too hear my fabric calling!

[@JeanPorembski]

Beautiful use of vintage blocks

[@annelefevre9457]

Embroidery is my most favorite thing in the world, and being vintage, makes it EVEN BETTER! I didn’t love your color choices on the leaf quilts, but the blocks were so wonderful! And I absolutely loved the squares and vintage embroideries of the other quilt! I have quite a few embroideries from the past…maybe I’ll try this. Thank you!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Best wishes as you play with your vintage pieces!

[@VioletWithey]

I've rescued many blocks and quilt tops over the years. Some of the tops have been quilted and some of the blocks are completed tops. Your quilts turned out great.❤

[@merrymabelmarket]

I love that you have experienced the fun!!

[@vickiheath6133]

Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved that leaf quilt. I would’ve never thought to use that blue but wow! I really also loved the little basket quilt. It was so cute. I like little things.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much! These quilts are so fun to sew up!

[@kathyworkman1678]

I see appreciate your wisdom. I am also a woman who struggles with math. All of our minds think differently. Love these vintage blocks ❤

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for your sweet comment.

[@rachelburgener819]

Ohhh my I l❤️ve all 3👏👏👏 What a wonderful, colorful, inspiring and encouraging video you shared!!! ❤️😀

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@joantabb3062]

I so love all three quilt tops and can't wait to see what else you do with the other vintage orphan blocks. I have lots and i always learn so much from you.❤❤

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wonderful! I hope you have fun playing with yours!

[@NuckFamily]

Oh my goodness, these are all just gorgeous! And I didn't think I liked that old embroidery, but now I'm trying to remember where I stored it! Wow! Inspired!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much!

[@stitchann]

Oh my gosh these are all gorgeous. I love your colour choices. I get so excited when I see you have a new video up.

[@annolsen8276]

I love them all, but the leaf one is my favorite. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@merrymabelmarket]

It really did turn out beautifully.

[@TheRozylass]

You're a magician! You take cast offs and make gorgeous, useful pieces from them. That's magic! I have lots of vintage handwork too but have never known what I wanted to do with them, thanks to you, now I do know and can move forward. That very last piece, the cardinal, made my heart stop, just such a beautiful piece, and my favorite bird. And yes, please teach how you do cornerstones. I like you methods.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@KaylynPNW]

I’m actually working with vintage quilt blocks I’ve had for 40 years as I listen to you!! 😂 I love using them. I believe every block deserves a beautiful finish. Yours all turned out adorably!! 💞 I use cookie sheets, too. I adhere a layer of Warm and Natural to the pan with double stick tape so pieces don’t slide off.

[@merrymabelmarket]

That is awesome!

[@larrijostarkey5459]

I have so many vintage blocks! Thanks for giving me ideas on what to do with them!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wonderful!

[@marionbarber984]

Great ideas! Very pretty! Thank you.

[@CozyHermitageCraftRoom]

I love your process. Beautiful quilts. John

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thanks for watching

[@amydavis8924]

This is my FAVORITE video yet!!! Have been waiting for your ideas for my bag of grandmother's linens and tatting! The setting triangles tip is genius! Saved up my Joann coupons and bought the 20 inch square ruler because of a previous video! Thank you!!!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

You are so welcome!

[@mariejohns1387]

So pretty! Love the falling leaves!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! 😊

[@jshipard54]

Beautiful quilts❤. They look amazing!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! 😊

[@Dean-k6q]

I’m excited to see what you do with the pillowcases because I have a few to showcase. I love your creativity.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mikepetramalo2904]

So beautiful!

[@bsteadfast]

They are all just beautiful! 🤩 You have such a great eye for colors. I have a hard time doing that because I try to be too matchy. I need to come out of my comfort zone more. Thanks for sharing your creativity. Anyone would love to receive that happy scrap quilt. 🌞💖🧵🪡

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much!

[@shellyculver4239]

These are so precious!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

And completely satisfying to sew!

[@LaTonjiaYMack]

Beautiful work ❤

[@angieallen4884]

Lovely ways to use these vintage pieces; thanks for sharing your thought process. I have some pillow cases and a table runner with wonderful embroidery and have made some things with them (hanger covers) but still have more and will put them in next year's project list. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wonderful! Enjoy the creativity when the time comes!

[@robinaanstey3734]

WOW!! The leaves are beautiful and the fabric colors you used just brought them all to life again. Very inspiring and yes, I would LOVE to see some tutorials on cornerstones. Cheers from sunny FL

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the cornerstone vote.

[@Kelly.A.]

So inspiring. Just what I needed for some blocks my grandmother made that I inherited through my mom. Now they will be displayed with pride in a wall hanging. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. P.S….i dont math either 🤣

[@SaraFratz]

The leaves are my favorite of these

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you!

[@francespiquemal8813]

I look forward to seeing more of your projects. These ones are beautiful in their own way. I would love to see how you do your cornerstones. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for the kind words and the cornerstone vote.

[@sandrahaigh2976]

Perfect tutot. I have neen making blocks for an on point quil and stressing over the triangles to make the borders straight. You have solved the problem for me as maths is a nightmare for me when quilting. So far I've not bought patterns and only made things up as I go along. So far, all that I've made has looked really nice. Even with knitting, i have problems with the patterns and up up doing my own thing lol 🤦

[@merrymabelmarket]

I hope this trick works so well for you!

[@vachelle3413]

Beautiful. 🌸🌼🌺

[@deborahvankleef382]

[@thisboymomlife]

I absolutely love your videos!!! Your voice is soothing, and you inspire such confidence in quikt making. I love how that leaf one turned out! Ive enjoyed making quilts from free fabrics I've collected...and made 2 quilts out of large panels of fabric.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Sounds wonderful!

[@DH-qz2so]

I love rescuing fabric and quilt blocks at thrift stores...I found some finished blocks last year...they are pieced, modern, solid fabric Blocks...in Star Formations... Most of my quilts now are made for charity/overseas.... so much fun!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Sounds like you really are having so much fun!

That cardinal you showed at the end would look fantastic in a quilt. When will you do that one ? I love them all!!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Not sure yet... but thank you for loving it. I love it too!!

[@Artindi]

I often have bais as well. My solution is to just pretend I don't. 😅

[@merrymabelmarket]

Great solution!

[@linwood5066]

Love you and your videos.please consider a longer tutorial.wwould be fab. 😊

[@merrymabelmarket]

Noted!

[@soffyabad]

You are an special lady🌸🌻🌷 so happy to find your channel🤗 really. Your creativity has no limits🌈💫🌷. I have a question, got some jeans that I may not use anymore, could I make a quilt of them, could you give me any advise?😊😇🤗

[@merrymabelmarket]

I prefer only 100% cotton jeans. I have a friend who loves sewing with jeans and uses them all the time. (They are usually thicker and heavier than regular cotton.) I used to own a picnic quilt that my Aunt made for me out of jeans. She even left some of the pockets in.. She "big stitched" it together and I did love it.

[@soffyabad]

@@merrymabelmarket thank you so much, we love you🌷🥳🌻🤗💜💫🌈
