A little Project I've been working on.

For the last several months Brittny and I have been looking for a vintage quilt for her house.  They can be quite expensive and we just hadn't found the perfect one.  A few months ago I was at the Alameda Antique Faire and spotted a quilt top.  Someone had made a whole quilt top all hand sewn, but never finished it.  I quickly nabbed that quilt top and took it home to turn into a quilt for Brittny.

 I added batting and a quilt back and then decided to hand quilt the blanket.  I didn't quite finish the quilting in time for her birthday,  but wanted her to have it anyway.  So I wrapped it up as is.  Brittny took it home and wants to finish the hand quilting herself.

When I first bought the quilt top took it to a quilt shop in Berkeley and a lady there told me it was probably made in the 30's or 40's.    As I was working on the quilt I thought about the person who started it and wondered what she would have thought to know someone 70 to 80 years later finished it and loved it!  I love old things.
