An older quilt

Good morning! Yesterday, when I was looking for heart quilts, I found this quilt. Back in the day, I used to hand quilt everything. My stitches were teeny weeny...and I don't think I can make them that small now!! The texture of this worn quilt is soft and cuddly, and I think that is what draws me to it.

Here is a close up...this is a great one for using 2 inch squares up!! I would like to remake this one, bigger though!!

I hope you have a wonderful Saturday, everyone!!

CATHY DANIEL said...: I was just going to say I love the way the stars overlap the border, but I see someone else said it first - still true though! Gorgeous colours in that one, and just adore the hearts quilt below too. xCathy; February 17, 2014 at 9:29 AM
