MarionsQuilts

My aunt just gave me this quilt that my grandmother made - 80 years ago!

The embroidery is done just on the top. It is hand sewn together (obviously LOL) but there is no batting. Just the top, and then patterned fabric in the back. The back is falling apart. And the embroidery is missing pieces.

I would like to fix it, and will work on it slowly.

My first step is going to be to simply cut the border off as it is fraying too much (it's only 1/2 inch wide).

Second step it to take out all the hand stitching so that I can take the backing off.

Third step would be to see if I can find the pattern so I can fill it in. This is where all of you come in! Here's a pic of the quilt ...

I'm hoping someone recognizes the pattern and I can buy it and fill it in.
