I said the other day that I wanted to quilt one quilt for myself this month. I really wanted to get the cheddar top quilted but got sidetracked by the needed repairs. Here is another vintage, machine pieced top I considered.
This is one of the tops hubby gave me for Christmas last year. I love this top! It does have some issues as well. A few seams need repair and it doesn’t lay quite flat. I need to come up with a quilting plan that will enhance the top and yet, stay in the background.
Since I had the perfect backing, and this top has aged enough, this is the top that actually ended up in the frame.
But I still don’t have a quilting plan for this either!
I want feathers in the border, but I am not so precise that formal feathers seem a good idea.
I’m hoping inspiration will hit today. I need to get this out of the frame so it is free as soon as Daughter #3’s project is ready to go.
Linking up with My Quilt Infatuation for Needle and Thread Thursday and Pretty Bobbins for IQuilt.

What is the ruler at the top of your border? I’ve never seen it before and looks like you could quite a few things with it.
Love your feathers 🙂
Looks like you are having fun! I love both of these quilts!! Looking forward to seeing how you decide to quilt these. V:)
Here’s to some inspiration!!!
“Quilting Makes the Quilt” has great iseas for quilting log cabins.
Beautiful antique Christmas gift. A border of indigo, possibly with appliquéed pale green vines and leaves, pink buds, would do it justice. Enjoy!
