The quilt top is a like a string quilt with random bits of fabric. I guess that she used old clothes and whatever she had on hand. The quilt tops belong to my d in law. She got them from her great grandma's family and they mean a lot to her. They were probably pieced in the 30's, judging by the fabric. They are both hand pieced. I do not know how to post a picture, but learning that is next on my list of things to do. Thanks for the advice. I think that I will quilt it around each pieced, or perhaps just a cross hatch.
