    Below are pics of another vintage quilt top that I recently made into a quilt. The top was made (all hand-pieced) by Mary Susan (Weathers) Senter, and she was born in 1843 and died in 1937 at age 93. She married Robert Winthrop Senter in 1861 when she was 18. So the top predates at least 1937.

    This is one of about a dozen tops that belonged to a couple that I'm good friends with (he's the grandson of Mary Susan Senter). It measures 70" x 82". It's amazing to me how vivid the colors in the fabrics still are after 70-80 years.

    I quilted this on my longarm just doing a meandering quilting.

    The colors are wonderful. Love seeing new life breathed into the old quilt tops. They are certainly treasures.
