i just finished a top "the bridal bouquet" for a lady at work. she did the squares but my daughter and friend had to square it up by adding a boarder around each block. ( her eyes and hands had a hard time making the square in to a square. did i mention that she is 102. but now for the question. what would you do to quilt it. i am thinking of asking a long arm quilt lady to finish it for she. i am not sure that i am up to doing it. the stitches are off and some are machine sewn and some are by hand. but i am thinking that with a long arm it will look better when finished. only hope that the great great grand daughter knows how much work the woman has put it to it. as she took almost a year to finish just what she did. any help please. ogama

If you're having it quilted by someone else maybe they will have an idea. As for someone knowing how much work goes into a quilt, she might never know if she doesn't try it herself but hopefully she will at least treasure it since it came from her great great grandmother.
If you're still wanting suggestions do you have a picture?

We should all be so lucky to be alive and quilting when we are 102, that's the only way my wish list will even get close to being completed hehehe
Since so much time has been spent making the quilt, I would have it quilted on a LA.
