OHHH!!! Its a string quilt. They are kinda interesting, totally a utility quilt. She was using what she had on hand.
Here's a few of my string quilts. There is all sorts of cotton fabrics(plaids,novelties etc..). http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...45965719OUJmJi http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...45965719nvDBDt |
I think it's kind of cute - It's definitely a time piece. I'd keep it as a family gift to pass to our future DIL :)
|
I meant YOUR DIL.
|
What would it look like if you tea dyed it - more vintage and aged? Or maybe even more attitide!
|
I would finish it - it would make an awesome couch quilt.

I should mention, it is in perfect condition despite it's ugliness!

Quilt them. They will look really good.

Uh....u could almost hear the pin drop after pic popped up! It doesn't look bad , it just unusual. Lots of interested colors and the border added made it prettier. I think after it's quilted , will look great.
