My 1930's Quilt
 

This is my version of a quilt from the book "Quilting Those Flirty 30's". The applique was done on my "modern" machine, but the piecing and construction was done either on my 1936 FW or my 1929 Singer 101 (which died as I finished the last seam!). My problem now is how to quilt it???? Suggestions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]385983[/ATTACH]

Oh my, I love it. I love 30's fabrics and you have made a beautiful quilt!

Beautiful, really beautiful!!!!!!!

I would do hand quilting, Feathers around the borders, and quilting around the blocks and flowers with cross hatching after outlining them.

Beautiful-I love repro prints & you have made me want to do one next! Your applique is Awesome!

wow that is lovely.

Great an lovely quilt.

That is such a pretty quilt. You did such a beautiful job.

Thanks, everyone! And tulip. I like your quilting suggestions. But hand quilting is out for me (boo hoo) because of arthritis in my thumbs. But I can do what you suggested by machine. I hope...

Love your quilt. I really like the 30's material.

Beautiful quilt!! Love the applique :)

beautiful aboustley beautiful!!!!

Beautiful quilt top....I can't wait to see what you do with the quilting.

I think this suggestion would work nicely. Lovely quilt and those 1930's are charming fabrics.

That is just gorgeous - love the colours and design.

I am no help with the quilting, but I wanted you to know I love your quilt!

It's beautiful!! Tulip43 has the right idea on hand quilting it.

Gorgeous!! That is one of my bucket list patterns.

Very pretty quilt
Nice

Beautiful, just beautiful.

It's beautiful! I'm no help with the quilting, though!

I absolutely love it. 30's fabrics are my favorites. I have been eyeing that book for some time, you make me want to go out and buy it. Thanks for the inspiration.

No suggestions, but it is beautiful.

LOVE this quilt! Your choice of fabrics and colors are perfect for this pattern.

I hand quilt my 30's quilts. I like to keep the quilting in the same time era as teh fabric. They would have done it by hand then.

Great work! It's wonderful!

nicely done

maybe you could find a group that would do the handquilting for you, we, as a group do this and our money is donated to the local charities; although we do keep a bit for a pizza day

That is really pretty...I do a lot of '30's quilts...my favorite kind of quilt...you did a beautiful job.

beautiful quilt, great job

I love it. I have accumulated some 30's fabrics but still cannot decide how I want to piece them together. Some are fat quarters, some scrap pieces and little bit of yardage. Hopefully - someday!

What a great quilt! Love the reproduction fabrics.

Beautiful quilt! Be sure and repost when you finish quilting! :)

I would stitch in the ditch on the patch blocks and quilt around the flowers. A floral design on the borders, perhaps

Gorgeous quilt. What was the typical 1930's quilting?

Oh that is so pretty. I love blocks and applique combined.

I love it. Those fabrics are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Love those floral appliques will have to look for that book. Thank-you for sharing the title.

Hand quilting would be nice if you have the time.

Outstanding! Like Tulip's suggestions a lot.
