    Default Drunkards Path

    A lady brought a couple of quilt tops to our small quilting group that she had found while cleaning out a loved ones home. Since they were old she thought they should be hand quilted. We have a large stash and found what we thought would work well as a boarder for the quilt. This is the drunkards path, many of the pieces are from feed bags. Although she used scraps and the colors do not all blend well, she did a beautiful job in her workmanship. We are sure it will be a treasure.

    that makes a fine quilt. thanks for sharing it. BTW, when a very old top was given to me, I asked a quilt evaluator how much difference it would make to the value if it were machine quilted. She said, "none, the quilting merely needed to be good quality.
