every once in a while i get a old, vintage quilt top to quilt.
sue brought me this gorgeous hand pieced feedsack irish chain. those squares are one inch finished.
it was so much fun quilting it- there were actual 'aunt grace' feedsack prints in the quilt!!
i CCed the squares and put my favorite, feathers, in the negative white space.
here's what the back looks like.
i like to think the piecer is in heaven thinking "thank goodness! it's finally finished!"

Oh, I'd give my eyeteeth for that quilt (if I had eyeteeth or even knew what that really meant)! Beautiful piecing and beautiful quilting. What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a fabulous quilt! I will steal it from Julie after she trades her eyeteeth for it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece of work! After Vicki gets it once it's paid for with eyeteeth, I'll give my right arm for it (It hurts anyway)
ReplyDeletei've already called DIBS on it...after all, i gave blood, sweat, and tears....
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh, this one made me stop and pause. Isn't is gorgeous?
ReplyDeleteThis turned out gorgeous. Love it so much. Your quilting really made it beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is just gorgeous!!! Definitely worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. You did a great job on the quilting too. You picked a nice old time design that is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove how you made your feathers into a plus sign shape! I would have never thought of that. Oh, and what does CCed stand for? Ive quilted that before, but didnt know it had a name!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Oh you make me laugh - yes, she probably is in heaven thinking that. And she's probably thinking it is beautiful and much better than she would ever have done herself. You did a wonderful job!!!!!
