As I told people at the March FW club class, I have 7 vintage quilt tops that need to be quilted. They were made by hand by my DH's (dear husband's) cousin's DGGM ( dear great grand mother). They were given to me to finish so I got one of them on the LA (long arm) yesterday and plan to work on it a little every day until it's done. So, this is the first one that I'm doing. I was told this block is the Butterfly star or a Pontiac star.
And, here's a close up
As you can see, there are some stains. That picture shows the worst one. I have some Retro Clean, a product made to take out stains from old fabrics. I hope it works.
I'm custom quilting this one but I'll try to take a picture later today to show you what I'm doing. I used old feed sacks for the backing and had to repair a few holes. Feed sack is probably what the piecer would have used to finish it up. Every stitch was done my hand. I hope I can do it justice.
