In September and August I began working on some vintage quilt tops. The tops were originally going to be machine quilted by a professional long arm quilter but things didn’t work out as planned and I was commissioned to do the quilting.
Since I am still in the “learning stages” when it comes to machine quilting, this was a little intimidating. The thought of “messing up” a vintage item was pretty scary!
So, I took a deep breath and just started with what I new so far and made up the rest as I went along.
Here is the first quilt. Here is a close up of the front.
Here is how the back looks.
Here is the second quilt.
