| this old quilt washed up beautifully...i bought this quilt for $45 on ebay...it was acquired by the seller from an 89 year old sparta illinois woman who went into a nursing home |
 |
| it was completely handpieced and in need of borders and quilting xoxo |
 |
| it was beautifully pieced so pressing the edges under was easy peasy |
 |
| i appliqued the points down to a border fabric that was perfectly matched in color xoxo |
 |
| and machine quilted it....the red star is one of my favorite blocks xoxo |
