    This is Eleanor Burns' Lover's Knot. It was done in a class and the last class was supposed to be on machine quilting but we never got to that. I hand quilted it (didn't know what I was doing) and then for some reason I just hemmed the front to the back. It's hemmed very loosely and I am going to redo that. It's never been used, just hanging but I'll fix the hem better and then let someone use it.

    That front-to-back binding was very common 25-30 years ago. Thank heavens we've improved (mostly) since then!

    That's good to know. I thought maybe I just made that up!

    I like the quilt a lot. Made that same pattern sometime ago for a church quilt.
