It’s done! Big stitch quilting with perle cotton or crochet thread goes pretty quickly. The first two photos were taken before washing.
I played chicken with my thread, but I won!
The rest of these photos were after washing. It crinkled up beautifully!
I washed this in my washer/dryer.
You can see here that not all the yellowing came out.
I remember paying $20 for this top many years ago. I sure got my money’s worth!
Have a great day!

Inspiring to the rest of us who have gotten unfinished quilt tops from somewhere… unknown.
This is a beautiful finish, Katy. I’ve often wondered if crochet cotton would work instead of perle cotton. Now I know it will! I’m not sure what size you used. The label looks like it says 3/0 or 3/9? I have several tops that would do well with big stitch quilting. Thanks!
What a vision you had with this one! It looks so good quilted, washed and crinkled. I am so glad you gave it new life! Good job!
i love it and it is sooo pretty
It’s lovely! And I bet it feels even better than it looks!
