I think they are beautiful. Good job on the handwork.

Oh wow!!! You made a real haul!! I'd love to inherit someones quilting stash!!

tessagin 05-09-2013 11:08 AM

Wow. What fun just looking at them. I don't know that I would have the patience to hand quilt but since they started out that way that would be the way to finish. Myself, I would be finding someone to do it for me. Lovely inheritance. Like Christmas all over again. Amazing what makes us happy.

Again kudos!

thank you everyone!

Wow! just amazing that no one in her family wanted to keep any of these. By the way the 7th quilt in the first post was the same pattern as the top I bought over the weekend. What size are the quilt tops? So glad you rescued them.

mimmy96 05-09-2013 02:22 PM

Looks like a couple are twin size... and some full and then I believe one is a queen.. I haven't really measured any yet, but by looking at them that is what it seems!

QuiltnNan 05-09-2013 02:33 PM

terrific quilts!

​Oh my goodness, what beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing. You have work ahead of you finishing them.


Emma S 05-09-2013 04:19 PM

Love the way your quilting the Grandmothers Flower Garden. I have been hand sewing one for about three years. When I finish I think it will be quilted in that same way. The lone star is beautiful too. Love the colors. Man I just can't imagine having so many tops to finish. Thank you for the eye candy.

Peggy Jeanne 05-09-2013 04:24 PM

They are beautiful!

Dal Lady 05-09-2013 04:30 PM

Just lovely.

You hit the quilting jackpot for sure with all of these inherited tops.

thebossbab 05-09-2013 05:59 PM

Wow...lucky you!! Both quilts are beautiful.

ScrapQuilter 05-09-2013 06:02 PM

Wow that's like Christmas in May............ lucky you.

willis.debra 05-09-2013 06:22 PM

Lucky you. Beautiful quilts. Have fun quilting them.

Yes... I am trying to get these 2 hand quilted before I start on any other one! but it is going very slow!!!

GrannieAnnie 05-09-2013 09:05 PM

Can you cash in the next 10 years worth of birthdays and Christmases and buy a long arm? With that many tops to complete, it would almost be worth it to look for one.

owlvamp 05-09-2013 09:39 PM

Both are beautiful!

Annaquilts 05-09-2013 10:33 PM

Sweet! Bless you for doing these tops justice and trying to finnish them.

MamaInRed 05-09-2013 11:11 PM

You really have some lovely quilts. So glad they went to a home that will love them.

nygal 05-10-2013 01:19 AM

Both are beautiful. What treasures you were able to get

gabeway 05-10-2013 04:16 AM

You are so lucky with these tops!

mimmy96 05-10-2013 05:31 AM

Thank you guys! I do feel very blessed to have them forsure!!!!

lue 05-10-2013 06:02 AM

WOW! I hope piecing them brought the lady great joy! They're lovely.

malega 05-10-2013 08:28 AM

Both of them are very beautiful.

They are gorgeous and you are so lucky to have them to work with.Very special indeed.

Jingle 05-10-2013 01:26 PM

Beautiful Grandmother's Flower Garden. The other is some sort of Star pattern.

Quilted and binding on they will both be beautiful.

Maureen 05-10-2013 07:22 PM

Wow that's all I can say.

twinkie 05-11-2013 03:01 AM

WOW. You really have a treasure.

They are beautiful quilts! She was a very talented quilter and blessed that her quilts ended up in the hands of someone who cares.
