Vintage Star Top

Posted on January 19, 2020 by katyquilts

I have decided to set aside knitting for a while in favor of hand quilting. I’ve put off quilting this top because it needed a few repairs.

Like this:

This was the closest I could come to a matching fabric. Not perfect, but it is a faded scrappy top so it will do.

Here is one of my repairs. I think it looks worse in photos.

I hope to get this basted so I can start quilting today!

Have a good one.

    Like Susie Q, I would have never guessed it that large. Well done!

    Isn’t crazy how we put things off then once we get “at them” it really didn’t take that long. Love the top and I am sure to love your quilting as well.
