Antique-ish quilts

I have a friend who does Estate Sales, She and her business partner are just amazing. They go in and clean up these estates and get everything sold and ready for the families - it is quite impressive.

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 .
