ffq-lar Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wow--I'm am loving what you did to save this needy quilt! It's so great that it was saved and saved beautifully. Brilliant idea to cover the whoopsies with the flowers--very whimsical and in line with the character of the top. G-R-E-A-T J-O-B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReisingStarQuilts Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Bobbi, YOU ROCK!!!! This quilt is Awesome!! Love it. You did a fabulous job on it. (((((((Hugs)))))))) you did a really good deed too to boot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Gosh thanks ladies! Any of you would have done the same thing... Once it was on the machine, I was just struck by the fabrics and where they might have come from... Carmen is checking with her mom and will hopefully tell me if there's a story to share... if so, I will put it on the tag on the back... it just seems there was lots of love in this quilt and it needed rescuing. That's all, no heroics here - just lots of love for my sweet niece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeindl Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Beautiful, Clever Bobbi! What kind of "netting" just the stuff we used to make ballerina skirts out of? What happens to the netting after washed and used? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Bobbi you should get a gold medal for that quilt! Way to rescue it. I love how you used the flowers to cover the holes. what a perfect compliment to the era of the quilt. Just great. I'm sure your friend will be overwhelmed!

bobbi Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Cathy, it was bridal veil that I used... I've never done this before, so I'm not sure what will happen when I wash it... I guess we'll see! Thanks so much for all your great comments! I'm so glad you like it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaB Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Bobbi - I've so enjoyed this thread - my hat is off to you girl.....You definitely made a silk purse out of this quilt.....You will probably never know how much joy you will bring to others with finishing this quilt for them....BRAVO!!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 You did a wonderful job on that quilt!! Oh yes, you have inspired me to try to save an old quilt that my grandmother pieced ages ago! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
