Some day I will take time to get bindings on all the quilts I finished, hopefully this winter. Happy stitching, have a wonderful week. Hugs, Michelle

Antique Pinwheel Quilt
Vintage Pinwheel blocks from e-bay puchased several years ago, I finally got around to sewing them together. I quilted traditional feathers and used a pretty kaffe fasset background floral print. I just love these old prints, some of them are from feed sacks and the entire blocks were hand sewn together. It was truly a time where people used scraps from whatever was on hand. I just don't have time in m life right now to piece anything like this that would take somuch time, so I really appreciate the work some wonderful lady from the past did.
Beautiful! I love this quilt! I am a hand piecer and quilter and it does take so long but so worth the end results.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love this quilt! It amazes me that people used to (and still do) all that hand-work!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the quilt, started by someone years ago, made it's way to you, to finish!
