My client showed me the top that she found among things left behind for her in an estate. She found several quilts and quilt tops. This one by far was the prettiest and in perfect shape. It was hand embroidered and hand pieced, very accurately sashed and bordered. I was a bit intimidated to quilt it, but chose my shabby chic roses and leaves for the sashing and borders and small stippling for surrounding the embroidered flowers. It was so pretty and feminine, I thought it begged for a scalloped border. My LQS sales lady suggested plain white binding, as that was usually used in vintage quilts. It was so pretty, I didn't want to give it back! By JeanJean71 12 LIKES | 946 VIEWS Let's Go Dutch I was browsing the internet for quilts and came across an antique version of this. I added sashing (looks like eyelet?) and made up the border. I did a little applique on the back...it's annoying to me that quilters are starting to do this...when I'm done with a quilt, I don't want to make a pretty back for it!

My stash had some fabric colors along the lines of what she had used, and that took care of side one. The backing, however, posed a problem, until I decided to make the runner's reverse side Christmas themed and use a pillowcase turning (no binding) for it. Lining up the two sides for quilting was a real pain. REAL, REAL, REAL pain, but I like the end result...even though some of the stitches are a bit off.

One lady, who had been quilting longer than the rest of us, though she was quite a few years our junior, provided the general pattern and we each put our own tweaks to it. My tweak was to have elephants marching across the strips of fabric. When I mis-cut the backing, a large (unplanned) piece from the front was used to mend the gap. It was this fortuitous error which provided the perfect backdrop for the appliqued monogram that followed. Talk about lemonade from lemons! Now if this ol' elephant can just remember that trick should it be needed again. By akaJaneAce 6 LIKES | 921 VIEWS Row By Row 2017 I won !!
