I rescued a top at a garage sale (double size) being used to cover a chair at a garage sale. When I asked how much (planning an out of my reach answer)she said---that old thing, how's a dollar? I couldn't get a dollar out of my purse fast enough and leave!!!! So, she's now washed, and line dried, now what do I do? I know the batting and the backing, do I press it---starch it? I'm going to give a try at hand quilting, large stitches as it's got a few stains; already looking rustic. It's "churn dash" I think, in browns and tans. I'm not at home (caring for great grand daughters 2 & 7 at Ft. Drum, NY as Mom recoups from surgery. Daddy is defending our freedom in Afghanistan) and will post a pic when I return but ---I have absolutely NO CLUE and there are so many of you "great quilters" here...I just know I can count on you,.
