Vintage Quilt Top
Owned by S. Woods, Kent, WA
This quilt top was pieced by Grandma a long
time ago using all sorts of fabrics including old dress shirts and work
shirts (the flat felled side seams and sleeve plackets are in the
quilt), Georgette and other thin fabrics from ladies blouses and an wide
assortment of cottons and cotton/poly blends. The piecing had "issues" -
there were no straight seams and a lot of fullness. The fabrics were
fragile and I knew they would not stand up to "regular" quilting.
First I pieced an "under quilt" from muslin and laid the quilt top on
top of the under quilt and then safety pin basted it together. The under
quilt is (literally) holding the quilt top together.
Then I added the navy blue borders to the quilt top/under quilt, then
put it on my quilting machine and quilted the Double Cable pattern in
the border. The body of the quilt was so unevenly pieced that all I
could do was tack the layers together about every 4 inches or so. The
customer is going to take embroidery floss and tie the quilt top where I
put the tack stitching.
I do have to admit that the quilt turned out all right. It is well loved
and will be a cherished family memento of a well loved relative.

Kaleidoscope Quilt
Evergreen Piecemakers
I belong to the Evergreen Piecemakers Quilt Guild and I quilt some of
their charity quilts. The quilt below was a queen size quilt and was
calling out for custom quilting. It is a Kaleidoscope quilt and it was
pieced very well.
