Default Found in a closet

A cousin brought me a quilt top she found in a paper bag in her closet. She remembers the bag was in a closet in her moms house when she moved houses about 30 years ago. It is made with a rough thick fabric, seams dont line up, and a few seams are sewn over a hemed seam. Its interesting! I cleaned, repaired some and hand quilted. I'll give it back to her.

​It turned out great! The imperfections just give it personality.

WOW!!! this quilt is fabulous & unusual. i've never seen this pattern in any of my books of vintage quilts. if it were mine, i'd send a pic & the story to barbara brackman & see if she has any info on this pattern. on her website she frequently shares pics & whatever info she can find on questions people write her about thier finds. and your repair work is wonderful!
