You mightbe able to find someone to hand quilt it, but ifyou got it machine quilted, I wouldnt feel bad either, it would be great either way!

I think that you could have it quilted by machine, I like to believe that the maker's of these quilts would want them to be used. So it wouldn't matter which way you choose, as long as it is used and loved :D:D:D

Gai, I agree. It would ruin the integrity of this beautiful hand pieced quilt. Just my 2 cents.

I also think some of the fabrics look like 30s, I also have some of my Grandmothers flour sack fabric and looks very similar to the larger flower pattern in the quilt.

ty that is a good ideal
