Antique Quilts

A friend of mine finds these beautiful Antique Blocks and Tops at a variety of sales. They are really fun to study and to just look at the fabrics.

The challenge is the repairing and the quilting. Sometimes she thinks she should hand quilt them all, and then she realizes that with the number she has.... she will never travel again if she sits down to hand quilt.

She chose this one to be machine quilted.  We decided that we really want simple quilting, that wouldn't take away from the "antique-ness" of it, but would really keep all the seams together. She fixed all the seams on the 9 patches so there weren't any holes..

 You might notice some of the 9 patches are wonky - but that is what makes it that much more loveable!!

And the back:

Enjoy!!
