I acquired this quilt with the intent of copying it.
The border especially. I like the way the use of only two colors works.
Again, this is a quilt that was used and loved. There is considerable wear in some areas. I added a sleeve so I could hang it to photograph it. As I stitched, I admired how fine the stitching is on this quilt. It is hand pieced and hand quilted with tiny stitches.
The quilt measures 64" x 81". The pieces are 1 1/2" square.
It makes me happy to think this old quilt got to feel your love while you were sewing the sleeve on to it.

ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of work i could never achieve, too repetitive for me, but nevertheless a great work.
