Lace quilt
 
6 Attachment(s)
My mother crochet this lace about 15 years ago and she gave it to me before she past away. Not knowing what to do with it I decide to make this queen size bed quilt . Thanks for looking![ATTACH=CONFIG]546246[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546247[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546248[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546249[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546251[/ATTACH]

What a nice way to use the lovely lace your mother made.

It is absolutely exquisite and stunning beyond words with your mothers lace. Have not see anything like this in a very long time and certainly nothing as stunning as this. This is one of those quilts that should never leave your possession at all. I would not trust anyone else with this. You did your mother proud!

What a beautiful use of the lace! Your quilt looks wonderful.

Very pretty. I have some lace my great grandmother did, just saving it because "no one" does that anymore. Not sure I could do what you did but I like the idea.
How did you attach the lace to the fabric?
I assume it has the fabric behind it, but did you sew it to the fabric like someone might tie a quilt to keep the layers together?
I'm impressed by all the quilting on the white !!!

barny 03-28-2016 11:25 AM

Wow! Your quilt if awesome. Be sure and put a label on it, so it will be remembered way into the future. Put her name on it and yours, date, etc.

Oh My Word!!! What a treasure! I crochet but have never had the ability to use such small thread. The best was baby yarn, so you know I am extremely impressed by her work and the way you have chosen to honor it. Truly a treasure.
