I've been meaning to post this for awhile. My maternal grandmother was a seamstress and quilter. This quilt came to me from her things. It is very thin now, but holding together well. Orange is not my favorite color, but I love to look at the old prints. It is hand quilted.

There is no separate binding -- the backing is just wrapped around to the front and sewed down.

Beautiful, a real treasure!

What a precious treasure! I do love orange.

Oh, it's wonderful!

I love it! Orange is my favorite color!

A work of art. Thanks for sharing What an heirloom. :-)

Beautiful work of art. Can you imagine hand quilting that? The lines are so straight and even. I can't see that straight! Treasure it forever.

Grandma's quilts are the best:)

Beautiful! Love the pattern, the fabrics, and the amazing quilting. The orange gives it a "Wow" factor! You're so lucky to have this quilt...such a treasure. :thumbup:

very nice quilt

I am with you on the orange, but I love the quilt! Your G'ma did a beautiful job on the quilting, and it's a real treasure. I see more love in it than I do orange. :-D

Simple and pretty! What a treasure~

What a treasure to have.

that is gorgeous.

What a work of talent and perservance ! It is a treasure!! My hats off to the hand quilting!!!

What a beautiful Irish chain! The hand quilting is awesome!

What a nice family treasure you have. I might make a suggestion that you make a small label for the back if there is not one already there. I have that on my list of things to do for the 2 quilts my grandma made plus the one my mom made. I do not think they even thought to label their work back then. I will just approximate my guess of the dates mines were made.

I like orange! Your quilt is beautiful, and the handquilting is exquisite.

I think it's great! What a lucky thing to get :)

I LOVE this quilt. I aspire to be that talented one day.

Neat quilt. The quilting is absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful keepsake from your Grandmother. I know you must treasure it.

Looking at this one makes me feel a tenderness for the past. It's wonderful that you have this.

That is an excellent idea! I am going to do that -- otherwise, how will my kids know anything about it?
