They are all so pretty, good job.
|
They are all beautiful! Goes to show you, the current patterns have been around a while. I also love the Tumbling Blocks.
I would think hand tied or simple quilting would be best? |
What a great thing for him to do, the piecer of these quilts would be happy knowing they went to someone who can appreciate all her time that went into them.
|
Love the scrappy ones! The family will probably want them after you quilt them!
|
what fun! I got a box of UFOs from a yard sale. Some of them were half finished blocks. I have to figure out what goes where LOL. Enjoy your tops.
|
The quilts are wonderful, please keep us posted.
|
Those are nice...alot of work there and they need to be appreciated.
|
I would try just a FMQ for most of your tops

What's cool about the tops is the huge variety of fabrics...sort of like a retrospective of clothing fabrics from those decades. And i remember those decades really well! The strippy with the blue border i will quilt first and give back to johnny. No one else in his family wants them...which is a shame. The brown dresden plate is blocks of cheater fabric which i might use as a backing...it feels like cotton. So....what ideas do you have for how to quilt these??? hexagons 66 in square [attach=config]276082[/attach] nine patch with plaid sashing....remember "eyelash" fabrics? [attach=config]276083[/attach] stars 66 x 88 [attach=config]276084[/attach] tumbling blocks 80 x 100 [attach=config]276085[/attach] strippy with blue border 76 x 92 [attach=config]276086[/attach] charm squares 72 x 84 [attach=config]276087[/attach] crumb quilt with some teeny tiny crumb pieces! 76 x 90 [attach=config]276088[/attach] |
Those are all sooo nice. You will be busy doing alot of quilting
