Quilted Love

My husbands mom, his paternal grandmother and his great grandmother hand- pieced this quilt from some of their old clothes sometime back in the early 1960s.
Someday I hope to have a backing on this family quilt. Maybe I need to learn to sew!!
Then again I am hopeful that one of my two girls will learn to sew and finish the quilt for me. Hey, a mom can always dream right?

This is a rare gem for me, it's the only full size hand-sewn quilt in my possession.

Kim, I have heard that the Amish in Preston will do hand quilting. Also, I do machine quilting but if I were you, I would have it hand done. I really like quilting but don't do anything by hand. Machine quilting is fine but I would think it would mean more to be hand sewn. Edith
