We(our senior quilters from church) just received a bag full of these tops, Some are queen size and some larger and maybe a twin. My question is how do you quilt this pattern? We just have the tops.
I have no idea! I hope someone can tell us.

I bought one too, at a thrift shop. The colors are what get me. After many years they are still bright and beautiful. Mine is a very simple one patch. I thought about the quilting and decided to hand quilt it with a ball point needle, and just a simple outline stitch using poly thread. I haven't done it yet because I was waiting to find some of the same type fabric for the back. I finally did, last week. How crazy is that? There it sat, at my thrift shop, all folded neatly into a large rectangle. Price 1.99. When I opened it all up there had to be at least five yards there. It's just ecru, but it will work beautifully because the quilt top has a few squares of ecru. The quilt top cost 2.99, so when I'm finished I'll have a wonderful quilt that cost me only $5.00!
