I have been given a few vintage tops and quilts that need care, and I'm sad I'm not motivated to do what needs done.

Love that blue-grey umbrella fabric! I see in the photos several of the fabrics used in the Blockade quilt which I hand quilted after purchasing the top on eBay. It sounds like you knew the perfect person to share those treasures with. Do you think the intent of the three border quilt was to have the non-border side against the wall where it wouldn't be seen. I've seen a few other older quilts that were constructed in that fashion.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-51610914239445872862019-07-10T20:45:11.280-04:002019-07-10T20:45:11.280-04:00Incredible discovery at your gramma's place.

Non-admirable construction sounds like what my grand girls will say when they discover my creations, haha<br />Everything you have is really a treasure. <br />I have ALL of my mother's sewing things, AND my oldest sisters sewing things as well (she died at age 48 in 2000) It takes a while to let go of some of those things, but I have had to. <br />Nice story, Linda.

Makes you think about where our UFO's might end up when we shuffle off. Knowing the young ones and their preference for shining and new, they may well end up in landfill, I guess! One reason at least to get those quilts finished! And don't forget, you have that Liberty prize to work with too! :-))Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902546150683095705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-5883255394028475382019-07-10T17:53:46.334-04:002019-07-10T17:53:46.334-04:00What a great story and to find three quilt tops!! ...What a great story and to find three quilt tops!!

This may have been a Devine form of 'pay it forward', as I just last week donated 10 large bins of fabric to the Linus Connection. I promise to make some vintage quilts that will make you proud.
