Friendship Quilt
 

These blocks belonged to my friend's mother. They were made in 1933 but had never been put together for a quilt. I finished it for her this morning. I had to add the sashing material and a strip on the back, the rest is all 1933 fabric.

Love it. What a treasure.

You did a beautiful job! Will be treasured!

I love these album quilts..my granny had some blocks left of a few, and I framed one.....just love it........maybe pillows for my porch..you did a beautiful job, and I love the blue.........looks like what they would have used in their day.......

Was it hard to find sashing fabric

What a great quilt to have and to treasure! You did a wonderful job finishing it!

Wonderful fabric. You did a great job finishing this quilt.

It's a treasure for sure. Love it!

so nice to have it put together... good work :thumbup:

That is stunning. I collect vintage fabric when I see it at estate sales. Have some bubblegum pink yardage that looks similar to some in the quilt. It is only 36" wide!

you did a nice job glad you put it togather!!!!

Beautiful quilt!!

What a treasure! All those signatures - something to cherish.

That is just beautiful and amazing how old it is.

What a wonderful quilt. You did a great job finishing it. This is a real treasure - a brand new vintage quilt.

No, my friend is in her mid-80's, but she says she remembers most of the people whose names are on the blocks. I am going to take it to her in Mid-Oct when my bro and I head to New Mexico via Texas.

OMGosh, this is so beautiful!!

I have a similar one passed down from my grandmother dated 1936. She never used it, just had it stashed somewhere. When she died in 1939 (from consumption/tuberculosis?) it went to her oldest daughter (my aunt) who saved it in a cedar chest. (She didn't use quilts.) My aunt gave it to me when she gave me her cedar chest. I treasure it, just not sure what to do with it.

Beautiful! Isn't there something beyond words wonderful when you take something like that and finish it?!! I have done a couple of those for friends of my Mom and they are truly loved. Congratulations!

It was a piece I had in my stash. No idea when or where it came from! But I thought it "fit".

That is gorgeous, beautiful job and thank you for sharing, what a treasure
Have a Blessed day

How pretty. I bet those blocks are happy to finally be together as a real quilt after all this time.:thumbup:

Very nice quilt. Great job!!

What a wonderful thing you have done for a friend........ I am sure she will treasure it forever and think of both you and her grandmother........ love the quilt.

THat is such a beautiful quilt... what stories those blocks could tell... If she remembers why they signed and who they were be sure to write it down and keep it with the quilt. You did a wonderful job.... be sure to put a label on it.
I love old quilts and love the stories...

Your added fabric color choice is right on. Just perfect.

Wow! What a wonderful heirloom! Kudos!

What a great treasure. Great job too.

Great job.... I love it. I would be a great to make one for a family tree quilt if you had your family members sign their names.... I'll think I'll do one like that. Absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing.

What a treasure!!

What a beautiful quilt and such a great thing you did. History is preserved.

She would be thankful to you for keeping the memories alive. Are any of the relations of the signers of the quilt around to see it?

Nicely done! A special treasure..................:)

Great job.
