I have never posted a picture on this site of a quilt that I have quilted so just wanted to try to do so. This Texas Lonestar quilt top is pieced with double knit fabrics. The piecer had passed away severl years prior to her daughter bringing the top to me. I just could not say "no". Now I am very glad that I quilted it for her. I think it quilted up very nice and the daughter is thrilled to have the keepsake.

beautiful quilt, but I especially like the quilting. It shows off the piece so beautifully. :lol:

Many years ago I made a lone star out of double knits in red, white and blue. At the time I didn't know how to finish it off once I got the star done. I don't know what ever happened to it but I have thought about it many times...That one is beautiful! I am so glad she knew how to finish it and now it is a beautifully quilted treasure! :thumbup: :D

I am truely sorry about the lost of your mother. About ten years after my mother passed away I finished piecing a grandmothers' flower garden top that she had started and never had the chance to complete. I quilted it last year. I have it hanging on the wall of my quilting studio and feel so blessed to have her presence with me every day.

Bobbielinks 09-13-2010 07:27 AM

I am really humbled by all the kind remarks I read here. Thank you each and every one.

Gorgeous!

Beautiful. Back in the day when double knit was so prevalent, I made a lot of garments from it and saved the scraps for my mom. She loved working with and as a result I have a couple of quilts that she made from the scraps I gave her.

Babs194068 09-14-2010 02:42 AM

Wonderful job. I can't imagine making a diamond out of double knit.
