I have a small quilt made in the late 1800's that was never finished and the batting is old news papers. My mom wanted me to finish it but instead I had DH put it in a frame with the batting showing. I keep it in my sewing room. I love it, because it is so frugal. I also have about 10 all different sized blocks from the same GGM done in the early 1900's that DH is getting ready to put in frames for me.
