It is sewn beautifully and is very clean. there are a few tiny spots that look like rust but I think they are just age spots. All seams are secure...just lovely. I am really proud of the top and it will be a treasure to me.
I do not know whether I should try to make it into a quilt because I feel a connection to the piecer and think I should leave her work as she did. The second picture shows it on display in my home.
The second quilt is also very lovely. I spoke of it in an earlier blog. "Union Blue" was made for the LQS to be displayed with the Washington's Legacy fabric line. I finished the binding and now I will have to give it up for a while.
I hope all the kits to make this quilt sell quickly so I can have it back on my rack where it belongs.
The quilt was quick and easy to make even though I have rudimentary skills.
Beautiful quilt. I've never seen the pattern before. When I first looked at it, I could see parts of a drunkard's path but only the small curved part. Is the red path appliqued on? If so it could be a snowball block but using the drunkard's path curved piece rather than the triangle corners. Again, lovely quilt and it looks like it's found the perfect home.

It is very difficult to date, even approximately, a quilt or top made of solid fabrics. I am not an appraiser but I read alot of quilt history books :-) Sorry I can't help here.
