    Default Vintage/Antique Quilt
    I found this top at an antique store years ago and recently unearthed it from my stash. I don't know how old it is, but looks like 1930's to 1940's (?) The piecing was done with a coarse cotton thread and done as though by a beginner. I just love it, since it is truly a scrap quilt and probably done as a first project by a family that didn't waste a thing. Most fabrics are feed sack and a few look like they came from scraps from clothing. Note the Confederate flag fabric. I hand quilted it in simple outline quilting and backed it with natural muslin.

    It may also have been made by an elderly lady who no longer had precise stitching skills. Enjoy this charming quilt from the past.
