Ohhhh my goodness....how BLESSED you are to have such a precious, precious heirloom. And to think you have the very quilt HER hands worked on for so very many hours!! Fantastic.
|
A Real Treasure.

How wonderful for you to have that! Thanks so much for sharing.
|
I love it! I have never seen the straight stitch used in the large white areas before, only patterns with a circular look. I like the straight stitch look, clean and simple. Beautiful quilt! Thanks for sharing.

Seeing this makes me want to make an Irish chain quilt. My ancestors came to the US from Ireland in 1720. Maybe I will make one for each of my children!
|
Beautiful and beautiful stitching.
|

That is a beautiful quilt. I like the quilting so much better on the older quilts that were done by hand or by machine and not quilted so tight, love the fluffy ones.
|
Oh what a precious & beautiful quilt you have! Your Grandmother was a wonderful hand quilter too.
|
I love vintage fabric, that is really nice.
|
I love it, the colors are striking! The hand quilting is so simple but looks so beautiful. It is really a treasure!

That is gorgeous! She was a master.

How wonderful! And what wonderful quilting.

There is no separate binding -- the backing is just wrapped around to the front and sewed down. |
Beautiful and what a keepsake. - Cynthia
