Antique Quilts

Published by fabricqueen at 1:00 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Do you collect antique quilts, have a few from your Grandmother or Aunt tucked away in a guest room, or search for antique blocks to assemble yourself?

 I was given an antique quilt top a number of years ago and have done some shadow quilting in the main blocks by hand.  Now for some stitching in the ditch and time to decide on a quilting pattern for the setting blocks. 

 How do you decide on a quilting pattern for an older quilt?  Do you use fabric as inspiration or the design?
