I once aquired a quilt exactly like that found in my neighbor's yard sale. I offered to quilt it for her, and she was so happy (I can't remember where she got it from, but she did not know how to finish it) I hand quilted 1/4 inch inside each triangle, and it came out really nice. However you finish it, have fun with it and show us pics!

What a great find. I think I'd try to hand quilt it using the Big Stitch way.

It's adorable, lucky you to find such a treasure. Regardless how you finish it, it will be a fun quilt to have in your collection.

I don't do much hand quilting anymore but this quilt would also look good tied and that would also be typical for older quilts.

Looks like the 50's fabric, I see some that I had dresses made from. I would machine quilt to be sure it would stay together.

some of these fabrics are from the 40's they are feed sacks beautiful quilt and imho it needs to be hand quilted or tied

If you want to quilt it according to the era it was pieced, you should hand quilt it. Machine quilting was not used much at that time. I would simply hand quilt 1/4 inch from each edge of the block. Nothing fancy, just like your grand ma would have done.

I'm thinking 40-50s. I agree, probably materials from clothes and stash. Needs to be hand quilted.

I would also hand quilt it, but not every single trianlge, maybe every other triangle

Looks like 30-40's I bought a top much like this one at a sale for $2.50, all hand pieced and sewn. I had it quilted on a long arm by a friend and it is absolutely beautiful. I think of the work and patience that the person took to make the top and feel very badly that it was tossed aside. It is my treasure...
