I have a suggestion for our aunt's quilt. ...Sandi,<br />I have a suggestion for our aunt's quilt. I imagine that you will not want it to be used very hard, so why not:<br />Turn one corner of the quilt back over so that the wrong side with those beautiful stitches becomes the quilt in that area. You can perhaps buttonhole along the seam allowance edges to firm them or something like that.<br />Attach a piece of neutral where that corner was to square out that top, and embroider your aunt's name and date and your name and date and tell what each of you contributed. <br />Then quilt it and it would be a fantastic legacy quilt.<br /><br />We should all probably go back and label any unsigned quilts that we know the background on so that the information gets passed on with the quilt.<br /><br />I will pray for your hands while you are hand quilting. I can not do more than a pot holder size anymore because of arthritis. Thank goodness for machine quilting. Otherwise, I would have a stack of tops-onlies!Owl Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076308720151716726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739974925779691361.post-62797548007979215672009-04-17T09:55:00.000-05:002009-04-17T09:55:00.000-05:00How wonderful that you have a legacy quilt.

Your aunt's quilt is lovely and I'll look forward to seeing what you do with it. I need to learn to do better with machine quilting myself...should make that a goal for the rest of 2009...might make some mini quilts and PRACTICE on them!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930049919252042391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739974925779691361.post-91431778243796007992009-04-17T07:14:00.000-05:002009-04-17T07:14:00.000-05:00Simply gorgeous...

Back then before all the modern technology that's what was done. But now, with my need to move on to other things before I get bored, hand quilting is not for me. <br />~Tootles for now!Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07566385457035055414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739974925779691361.post-73783033013558920712009-04-17T01:00:00.000-05:002009-04-17T01:00:00.000-05:00Awesome!!!
