That is a beautiful quilt and I think it probably was kept in a pillowcase all these years so that the right person would finish it. You did a great job...the hand quilting is beautiful and it showcases the quilt pattern perfectly.

My daughter saw a picture of a postage stamp quilt in a magazine and wondered if I would make one, but I shuttered at the thought of working with such small blocks. How large do you make your blocks? Do you do a ramdom design or something similar to the antique quilt on this post? I would like to surprise my daughter with one someday.

Believe it ot not ..... the squares on the Postage Stamp Quilt are exactly as the title of the quilt states.... they are the size of a postage stamp (no bigger than a "1 inch" square). Makes me tired just thinking about how much time was spent, sewing all those squares together .... as they were cut out by hand and with every single one of those little squares were sewn by hand. The only thing on this entire quilt that was not sewn by hand ..... was the binding ...... I "cheated" and attached the binding by machine .... however I did blind stitch the binding in place "by hand" to finish the quilt.

When I hear about antique quilt tops that weren't 'finished' into quilts, I always wonder if the quilter planned it that way. If this quilt top had been quilted and used, would it have been 'loved' to scraps?

It is gorgeous, a work of art. Enjoy it!
