I was thrilled when she asked me to quilt it!
(heels kicking in the air!)
But I have to admit I'm always a little timid when it comes to quilting antique blocks.
I want to "bring them to life", as Allison puts it, and quilt them in a way they were originally suppose to be quilted.
LOVE these vintagel prints!
I went with a simple stipple to recede the solid background.
Then I quilted 1/4" inside each Dresden wedge and swirled the centers.
This one was the only printed center in the entire quilt....love that! (Allison's photo)
Her backing reminded me of the Dresden's - in a modern sort of way.
Allison bound it with a white binding.....perfect!

Here she is - all wrapped up!

Thank you, Allison, for allowing me to quilt this beauty!
Love, love, love this quilt and you did such a gorgeous job of the quilting! I have a pretty good stash of feed sacks passed down from my grandmother that I want to put in a quilt once I get good enough to do them justice. There is something special about feedsack prints. Allison was so fortunate to find the blocks already made!
