Vintage Tablecloth Quilts

Transform your favorite vintage tablecloths into beautiful quilts! Learn how to convert the best parts of each cloth into quilt blocks and appliqué elements that can be combined with commercial fabrics for extra vibrancy. Customize your design to get the most out of any tablecloth—parcel out a single cloth for multiple projects, or combine pieces of different cloths into one quilt. Dig into grandma’s attic, visit a flea market, buy new reproduction panels…even old tablecloths with holes or stains can become part of a lovely quilt. Use this unique approach to preserve personal memories or create new family heirlooms.
