    fineseams got a reaction from Beachside Quilter in quilting inherited tops?   
    Oma,  I'm with you on that.  I have always said that the only reason anyone quilted by hand was because they didn't have a sewing machine:-)
     
    Claire, I love what you did - very simple, just right for  that lovely old quilt.
     
    Debbie, a very nice treatment for a DWR - maybe I have been thinking that something too fancy was required.  I like the comment to quilt them as they would have been quilted when they were made.  Definitely food for thought.
     
    Thanks for all your comments.  This decision is some time in the future, because even if I decided I wanted to tackle them myself, my skill level isn't good enough yet on the LA, although I could do them just fine on my domestic. 
     
    Next time I'm in that trunk I'll take them out and look at the stitching and fabric.  My memory is that they are all three in good condition - but if they are fragile, probably getting them hand quilted would be safer.
     
    I hadn't thought about them in some time - Debbie's post just brought them back to mind.
