I found this in some of my Aunts quilts and it is a small piece that I think maybe she made for a placemat.
I know very little about quilting but I really like this pattern on the back she used for the handquilting.
Are there stencils for this?? I hope you can tell about the pictures because they are stained. I'll have to soak it in Oxyclean for about a week to get the stain out but I wanted to ask about the pattern. It looks like a Christmas Ornament outline to me..Any information will be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks,she and my grandmother made beautiful stitches and were sooo patient...Of course they had a lot of practice, Grandma lived to be 92 and my Aunt lived to be 96 having just recently passed away. I'm hoping with practice I'll get the skill down don't know about the patience though?

I mean no disrespect, but to me it looks like the quilting on a section of mattress pad! Are you *sure* it's a hand quilted piece? Or maybe she just copied the quilting on one.
