100 year old quilt top I quilted

[ATTACH=CONFIG]545474[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545475[/ATTACH]This quilt top was pieced in 1900,then rolled in a sheet and put in a cedar chest for years. My friend let me machine quilt it..not the hand quilting it likely should have had...but now can be gently used by the owner. You'll note the wacky block...even in 1900 ,the issues were the same!

great job and great quilt. Maybe that wacky block was her "humility square"

Beautiful Job! Too bad it got put away for all those years, but we would never have seen it otherwise! Thank you for sharing.

what a lovely quilt! And I love the turned block! You did a great job on the quilting and so what if it "should have been hand quilted"? You are right, it probably would have sat in the cedar chest another 20+ years before that may have happened!
