an oldie but still goodie...quilted by Heather
 

This quilt has been with us for a many years. The first pic show the wear. It has been loved...alot!!!
I took it apart the other day, made a layer of fabric to go under the quilt top(some of the fabric is so thread bare and I don't think it can be fixed so now a new layer will show through if the fabric rips). It has new batting and my oldest picked out a home dec fabric for the back. I quilted it in very loose feathers and did little rays in the fans. Today, I will put a new binding on it and wash again so it can crinkle up if it's going to.
I'm glad I was able to save this quilt. My mom made the fans years ago, and a friend of ours pieced it, now I got to quilt it. I will be making a label for it later on to save the history of the quilt so it isn't forgotten.

Wow! So glad you're able to save the quilt fans and finish making it. You did a fantastic job on the quilting...Your Mom would be proud!!

good save!

Heather this is beautiful! Awesome again! Love the feathers, and still your biggest fan for completing my quilting. Hope to have another to you soon.
