Why Custom Quilts Take Time

/
The site visitor was charming on the phone, calling before 6 am to ask if she paid us a "rush" fee, could we get a custom quilt started and finished for her in a week.
It wasn't that we didn't want to help but making a double wedding ring quilt, one of the hardest patchwork quilt designs, in a week is just not possible. It takes an average of 4 specialists to make one quilt, and we get them made in as little as 3 months - less if the quilt is simpler. "So how come I read some people can make a quilt in a week" she persisted.

Make Table Cloth Into Quilt!

/

One of our customers had a favorite aunt whose estate ran out of quilts to pass out to family members. In the place of a quilt, she was given a favorite table cloth used for family gatherings. Did I think we could make a quilt out of the table cloth, she asked.

After picking the best complimentary tone of solid burgundy fabric, I added panels around the table cloth to size it to a full size, 86x86 quilt. The custom table cloth quilt was finished with detailed machine quilting with a rose design, to compliment the cross-stitch embroidery on the table cloth. The customer had tears in her eyes when she saw it. She now also has a quilt with fond memories of her favorite aunt!
