Quilt top
#21
I once aquired a quilt exactly like that found in my neighbor's yard sale. I offered to quilt it for her, and she was so happy (I can't remember where she got it from, but she did not know how to finish it) I hand quilted 1/4 inch inside each triangle, and it came out really nice. However you finish it, have fun with it and show us pics!

If you want to quilt it according to the era it was pieced, you should hand quilt it. Machine quilting was not used much at that time. I would simply hand quilt 1/4 inch from each edge of the block. Nothing fancy, just like your grand ma would have done.

Hi all. I got this quilt top in a box that I bought at a household auction quite a few years ago. I just recently rediscovered it when I was going through my fabric. Does anyone know what era this is from? The pieces are hand sewn together. Any suggestions on how to finish this, free motion or hand quilting?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
