Finished hand quilting old pieced top
As promised here's the photo of antique quilt. Finished binding this hand quilted old jewel. Each plate is about 22" across. I had asked and received lots of guidance on how to quilt this. I did a feather design in the centers, stitched approximately 1/4 " all around inside of blades. Made a straight crosshatch in all the plain white areas. A small ivy borders winds along the border. I chose to bind in navy, as some suggested. I used 496 yards of quilting thread. Thanks for all the great suggestions.
