thoughts on what to do with a gifted GFG top
A friend has given me a Grandmother's Flower Garden top, queen size, hand pieced that her former husband brought home from an auction. She was on verge of throwing it in the trash and gave it to me instead to do whatever I want with it. Frankly, it's a, hmm, interesting quilt--thinking probably pieced in 60's-70's. There are some hexies that are wool, some cotton, some from worn flannel (nightgowns??),and who knows what else! It's totally scrappy---no real unifying color, etc. And it was in a box in her basement so it's musty and dirty. So my question is, should I go ahead & long arm (just a feathery overall) or aim for the trash? If I do finish it, it would go to charity. But frankly it's unattractive to start with & not sure quilting will help it.
