Every once in a while she rescues a forgotten quilt top and works some magic on it. Sometimes she finds blocks - sometimes partial tops.... sometimes doozies - but she turns them into snuggles of love.
The latest one was so adorable. It is ALL hand pieced, scissor cut squares , We think it was from remnants of her children's clothing. They are all juvenile fabrics.

| What it looked like on the machine - all the excess the would need to be worked it ;-) |
Upon inspection, we knew it was going to have some stretch - the fabrics were a combination of cottons, flannels, and a few little stretchy ones in there.
Before any of you ugh ( grin) remember - we were not finishing it for show - we were finishing it for the cuddles and the history.
And Ta da - I worked a lot of lines, a lot of squiggles, and ... got it to lay relatively flat with relatively square edges ;-) The orange squares were left flopping ( or flapping) and my client thought she would straighten that line so it is easy to bind !
Ta da!!
PS - Need a quilt finished ( quilted) soon - contact me - I am currently at a two week turnaround .

You turned that quilt top into one great looking quilt top! The texture your quilting added is truly amazing and makes the top come alive. What a sweet quilt!
Wow. That really looks great. It just shows that it isn't impossible.
Beautiful job on this quilt. Getting them flat and square can be tough!
Perfect rescue!!!
Awesome. You did a great job. I love the colors.

phenominal quilting! Looks lovely.
The top looks great now!
I love that your friend rescues quilts and pieces of unfinished quilts. You did an amazing job on the quilting.
Beautifully done! You worked quite a magic trick on that one, but it is so worth it.
