Quilt rescue
[ATTACH=CONFIG]528318[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]528319[/ATTACH]This started out as a dirty,falling apart,smelly top...made from flour and feed sacks and whatever. Note the swastica print. After some TLC,I hand quilted it with wool batting. Got a blue ribbon at the fair.

I love "saving" old quilts, too. It breaks my heart a little to see them fall apart to be thrown away after all the work that went into them by their original makers. You did a beautiful job repairing and quilting it! Wonderful!

Golly I just am amazed at people who give things like this away. That was a lot of work to make. I'm so glad you rescued it. I wonder what they would think if they knew you quilted it and got a blue ribbon on it! Good for you.
