A number of years back, I bought an old quilt top at an antique shop in Boise. I already described it's construction and the issues with it, in my previous post. Phyllis did her stippling magic on it and I love it. I got the binding all on, on Thanksgiving Day. It is finished.
It is a beautiful quilt. It is on my table in my quilt room, but I hope to scout out a good place, out-of-doors, to photograph it properly. I hope whomever made all these blocks remembers her work and is having a warm feeling about it just now, or beaming down from heaven with happiness. Below is a close-up of the back of one of the blocks.
You can see the machine stitching below the yellow and floral block, however the stitching on the yellow four-patch is hand-stitching, Also note, at the top of the photo, the blue sashing is attached to the red sashing by machine. I don't know how old the fabrics in the quilt are, but I am glad to finally have risen to the task of making it into a completed quilt.
