It appears to me that this is a pieced log cabin quilt, but that one of the fabrics used in the piecing was a fabric that was meant to be used as a "cheater". If this is the case, you would ignore those printed black stitches in the cheater fabric.

Are you thinking of quilting this by hand or by machine?

Too bad you couldn't see the pics she did post. On the backside photo, you can clearly see the little triangles are cheaters.

Its lovely, and the dashed lines look like they were printed on the fabric - they are charming. I agree with Maniacquilter2, if you bring it to a quilting or sewing shop, someone there might be happy to help you figure out what and how to sew it and finish it.

Thanks all! I was just thinking last night about whether or not it had been pre-washed- I obviously have no way of knowing. But you have a great point- that would all fray like mad if I did, so thank you for saving me from that mess! I think I will definitely go to the local quilting shop and see what help I can get.
