Anyway we found a turnk and it was full of real old clothing and 2 old hand pieced quilt tops, and some that were not all done yet, she didn't know where they can from and asked me if I wanted all of them.. WOW! I jumped at that. LOL... I took them home and washed then and they look really nice. one has a small stain on it but it is in a place that would not show.
What I want to know is can a LAQ quilt these tops seeing there are hand pieced? I don't know how to hand quilt so that is out.. what would you do with them?

I think you can find a hand quilting group that would love to do these quilts. Search Amish quilters or hand quilters in your area. In Illinois it shouldn't be to hard to find them and you will find a wealth of info. Just don't go by the cheapest quoted price. You get what you pay for in hand quilting. They are wonderful quilts. Love red and white!
