Antique quilt 'rescued' and quilted
Hey Y'all,
I just finished quilting this one for a friend. It was found among her MIL's things, made by her hubby's favorite aunt ages ago. The sunbonnets appear to be made from old hankies, and the dresses are either old clothing or flour sacks. The girls were all quilted - but then attached to the background fabric which is a heavy but soft almost canvas/denim weight. I just FMQ around each of the girls and added a little flower motif at the intersection of each block. Not sure what kind of batting was used - but it is heavy and feels dense, likely an old blanket. The quilting really sinks into it & doesn't show. First time I've ever tackled a job like this - and happy to say it went smoothly. Got it all quilted & done in one afternoon. =)
Enjoy!
