Look what I found! Grandmas unfinished quilt top.

I have one of those, too! My grandmother made it in the 70's, in an around the world pattern. I weighs about 20 lbs! It's just the top, I think it would be way too heavy to finish and quilt-we use it when we go to the beach.

How lovely! Square it up and finish it off! My MIL has one made from poly that her mother made...it is very heavy .... no batting ... poly back and is tied with yarn....and still looks new and I know for a fact it has been used and washed a ton!

I think it is a beautiful quilt with lovely, bright colors. I would finish it and treasure it. Who knows poly may come back into style with the prices of cotton! I have one DGD who loves poly: she is 25 and has loved it since she was young especially bell bottoms!
