I have finally finished hand quilting this quilt. I finished the binding this afternoon.
My new SIL asked me last spring if I could "repair" a quilt that she had bought at an estate sale. It had belonged to a dear friends mother. I said yes, of course. She had started quilting it. Bad fabrics, bad piecing, bad batting and the quilting was erratic (to put it nicely)
So I took it apart and started over -- I didn't touch the piecing. It is 50s fabrics -- lots of flimsy poly and even some knits.
Now it is DONE!!!! and I can start doing more of my own things. DJ blocks and borders on my bargello WH and maybe start a Carpenters Wheel
I don't know what the block name is, though and I want to be able to tell SIL how much I enjoyed it. Actually, the colors are great!! I found lavendar fabric for the binding that matched the star points on every block.
