I agree with Eagle Hawk.
Quilted in 2010, whether by hand or machine is still not like it was completed 60 years ago. But, you have saved it and rescued what otherwise might have never been finished.
A FANTASTIC job, both on the fabric restoration, and your fabulous quilting job.
What a treasure!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

wow it is beyond gorgeous and u did such an amazing job!!!

It seems to me that a quilt will 'tell' you how it wants to be quilted. I think you are a very good listener.

This is absolutely gorgeous, and surely has earned you another feather in your angel wings!

What???? It so darn beautiful !! Great job.l

Regardless of how it was quilted, that is a stunningly beautiful work of art.

You are very talented

This is an ABSOLUTELY gorgeous quilt, and the quilting is the icing on the cake!!!!!

I for one would have no problem with an old quilt being machine quilted if it looked half as good as this one does.

It is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen; it's absolutely memorable.

Phenomenal is all I can say! I would be very honored to have a quilt turn out like this, no matter how it was quilted!

Beyond fabulous!Wow!

That is just STUNNING! You did that quilt proud! What an hierloom treasure! Wow! Your time, effort and skill has brought that gorgeous quilt to life! Congrats on saving this ladies legacy!

When I saw the pictures before I read your post, I thought someone did a whole lot of trapunto to make that quilt look so great.

The thing of it now is that you rescued a family heirloom and I'll bet good money that it's going to be a family treasure for ANOTHER 60 years, thanks to you.
