I received these two tops, unfinished and wonky, from my husband's 94 year old aunt. As you can see, I had them machine quilted exactly as they were given to me. Check out the Double Wedding Ring quilt! I had no fabric to finish the row and I was afraid to removed anything so I just finished it as it was. One edge of the DWR quilt had a horrible small border on it so I just cut it off. I used good ole muslin on the back and bound with a 30's print. These will be given away as door prizes at the June 2020 family reunion.

Re: Antique Tops Finished

Nice job on both of these! I love old quilts. I think it would be fun to resurrect quilts like these and I admire you for figuring out how to save the one with the damaged edge. That's the one I would want!

I may be pm-ing you in the future. My 97 yo aunt died last week and my cousin found 2 quilts she is giving me that not one of her 7 bros or sisters want but they need to be repaired and I am the only quilter in the fam. One is S. Sue and the other one I think is redwork. Don't know when I will get them or how bad their condition is.

What a great job of finishing these beauties.. Just love it when life is given to a flimsy. These sure are treasures and I would find it very hard to part with either of them. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. both in the finish and the giving.

The two quilts are beautiful and you have managed to give them a new life and the memory of your aunt will remain in your memory, surely the person who gets any of the quilts will fell happy and treasure it
