my mom remarried and she found this in the closet of her husbands home
she thought i might like to put the binding on it and have it for my "collection".
Here are some of the appliques close up.. someone put alot of work into this.

Wow lots and lots of work went into this quilt...it's beautiful...lucky you

beautiful

Her new husband didn't know any of the history of the quilt ? It is a work of art - can't wait to see how you finish it :mrgreen:

That is soooooooooo pretty! Lucky Lucky You!~~

Sharon.. he didn't know if his deceased wife did it or his sister... that's a man for ya..
she also gave me a featherweight case.. I wonder where the machine is... I think the daughter took it not knowing there was a case..

That is flippin' awesome!!!!

I don't know what to do with it because it has the already quilted backing on it..so if i were to quilt around anything it would not look good with that backing... i have never had one like this before...lol

How could someone just stick it in a closet unfinished? Lucky you, congrats!

I reconize the embroidery designs ....I have the same ones...they came with my first Brother sewing/emb machine...and it did take a lot of time a love from the person that made it...!!!! I love to make emb. quilts...especially for children using a theme...enjoy and congrats !!!!
