    Default ...another "found" quilt

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]552474[/ATTACH]That's it! No more estate sales! Here's the latest...it looks like it was made by owner - machine embroidered, crocheted trim, put together by her and machine quilted....all was good except the quilting! Was just large arcs, circles and scattered four petal flower type things, leaving much empty space, which was very saggy....so I put it up on my L/A and figured "nothing to lose"....so I just filled in all the spaces with mindless fm..connecting what was there. Got a few little tucks, worked out most as I went along....washed delicate in cold water...dried in dryer-4 cycles! But now it's a pretty quilt...not bad for $25.00...but no more estate sales! Well, at least this week! Hope pics come thru

    I think I'll put it back up upside down and do a large zigzag on all that crochet trim' just so it's not that puffy, can't do from front, but I'm thinking working on back should do it.....
