It is a commercially made spread, my mom gave it to me in the early 80's so I guess it is getting to be an antique. I just love it, it is my favorite.

Machine quilting. I can barely thread a needle for hand sewing much less hand quilt. I am in awe of hand quilters, such skill blows me away.

I love how many people are interested in my old bedspread. I thought that I was the only one around who likes something like that vs. a comforter. I have always loved chenille bedspreads, I think they look good with all styles of decorating. My mom gave me mine back in the early 80's and I have used it non-stop since then and it has just held up beautifully.

Good job figuring out how to set it on point. Your piecing looks good. Can't wait to see it quilted.

Isn't it wonderful when our inner vision works out the way you thought it would? Pretty quilt.

Very pretty quilt. You did a great job, that's not an easy quilt, I made one years ago, however, I worked on it with another quilter and our 1/4" didn't exactly match, but it was still a beautiful quilt. We did make quite a bit of money for the church as it was a raffle quilt. Nice job.

Storm at Sea is not something many people would attempt as a 2nd quilt! Very good job!

I guess that is the advantage of not knowing better, just dive right in. That is the way I am with my fiber pursuits, my first floor loom was 46", 8-shaft with double back beams! LOL I had no idea what I was doing but I do now. That is how I am looking at quilting - lots of straight 1/4" seams.
