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:

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!

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.

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.
