We have been working on the vintage quilt tops from garage sales and thrift stores. Hope to sell some at a local craft show on the 24th of this month.
This first one, from a thrift store, was scary. There was not one block that was smooth or flat in the whole quilt. So many folds and ripples and was all hand pieced. I was really afraid it would be a nightmare to quilt but my HD did a terrific job on it. He did it on the long arm in a close meandering stitch. Check it out!
The second one he finished quilting just this morning is the largest one we have done. It came from a garage sale, along with three more that we will quilt. HD does such a great job on the long arm. When he gets done, I trim it up and put the binding on. This one was all hand pieced as well - ALL 86 by 97 inches of it! He quilted this one with what we call a "Lazy 8" pattern. Here it is!
