Part of my birthday present...

to myself! (Mom- DO NOT scroll down if you don't want a preview of what I made you- it's on the next post.) Sarah and I found this quilt top at a local antique shop. It has been prewashed. That is unfortunate and I told the owners that most of us quilters prefer a stained, intact, quilt top to a clean frazzled one! It really is still in very good condition. Only 2 of the flowers are a bit sad. Some one with very little needle skill tried to mend it, but I think I might leave it as it is because I plan on quilting it with the machine, anyway. All the fabs are 1930- the real thing, not reproductions and I think it is charming. I am not looking forward to the binding....
