Finished Grandma's Quilt
3 Attachment(s)
This quilt was handpieced by my grandmother about 50 - 60 years ago. It was recently given to me and I decided it deserved to be handquilted. It took forever and as my first handquilting project, it is far from perfect but I am so proud to have completed it. Please enjoy.

I'm not a hand quilter, but you did a great job. Congratulations!

Your choice of how you hand quilted it is so fitting for the all over design. Lovely.

It's wonderful.....and so precious. Kudos to you for challenging yourself with it and seeing it though. Hats off to you.

What a treasure. There is a lone star partially pieced by my great grandmother someplace in my family. I think I will see if I can find it and finish it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Congratulations! It looks like your grandmother put a lot of stitches and work in her quilt top. And it's wonderful that you could finish it.

Good for you. I like your choice of quilting motif.

Looks wonderful to me!
No matter how critical you are of your hand quilting, think about how much prettier it looks quilted, displayed and appreciated, compared to how it looked tucked away in storage! |
What a beautiful quilt and such a loving job to hand quilt it all. I'm sure you and your family will treasure it for years to come. Just wonderful!
