LibbyG Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 This is the quilt that sat in a back room of a house for 50 years. The grandaughter said it belonged to her grandmother's MIL. She sewed the hexagons together and then laid them on the flower sacks and machine sewed them all around the outside edge only. She wanted a pantograph, but I decided to quilt it differently and just charged for the pantograph. Since the yellow backing wasn't big enough to pin to the frame, I used it for the binding. Then I replaced the back with muslin. So fine on top and BL.
