This Weeks Project

This is a quilt top that was sitting in a closet for several years pieced by mother and daughter.   The mother since has passed on and the daughter asked if I would finish it.   I had to try and square it and added yellow  borders to blend with the older fabric.     It is still a little wave but workable.....   The quilt was pieced with white thread which shows.... I'm wondering if you can use a black fabric pen to get rid of the white .... hummmmm!    Maybe I will suggest this to her....  Using a panto by  Sue Smith  " Dahlia Romance " which compliments the fabric in the quilt.   King Tut variegated pink & yellow thread top & bottom.


So far everthing is quiet on the home front .....  back to the norm.

Like the fabric,looks like the 50's,
Once the quilt is washed, I am almost sure that the thread will shirnk and no longer be seen. That is one of the nice things about coton thread!!!
