It has been tucked away for several years..out of sight, out of mind. It is a UFO of my brother-in-law's grandmother. She passed away many years ago. I think she lived in Ontario. I will have to get more info on this. The piecing is a bit wonky but I love it. It is all cotton fabrics. My BIL has a completed one in the same pattern. The setting triangles are muslin. It has no borders and it was handquilted, of course. Included in the bag that this came in, were some scraps. Not enough to do anything with. The edges are a bit out of shape and could be a bit of a nightmare to get everything straight and set-in precisely, but I certainly want to finish it. What do you think? Can you date the fabrics?

Congrats on getting your RRCB finally to the finishing line. Woo Hoo! As for the other one, I have no idea on age.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your RRCB, that one shouldn't be sitting in a closet somewhere, can't wait to see how you quilt it. And what a treasure you found when looking for the backing. That is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteJust a little more time spent on RRCB and you will have a gorgeous quilt that you will be able to use...hooray!
ReplyDeleteI love your "buried treasure". I wouldn't know anything about how old it is but it certainly does look wonderful.
Great colours in that star. It looks new.Guess being tucked away from the light really helps. It looks pretty flat, though the quilting will take up some of the irregularities. This is a pattern that I have yet to try. It is a bit daunting bith in the colour choice and in the piecing.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI can't date it, but I really love it. It needs to come out of the closet. What a great family treasure you have.
