Default Finished, antique quilt top number 5, for client.
I have worked a long time on this piece this summer. I tried to convince my client it wasn't worth the money it takes to quilt it. I did talk her into letting me cut it down to a table topper size. It was basically in shreds. Had holes, holes, holes. I spent several evenings patching the patchwork, both on the machine and by hand. I did take the advice of folks on this board and hand quilted it very close, with feathered wreaths in the white blocks. Hope she will be pleased, it is amazing piecing, and glad it will be preserved.
