Well another day is justing getting started with the quilt restoration project being completed. It looks really great and should last this family many more years. Some of the fabric pieces are really fun to look at and wonder where they were taken from in order to piece them into this quilt.
I was able to carefully cut apart the top of the quilt from the backing, batting and the ties that held it together. From there, I was able to see how much material had been folded over that could be layed out to provide an additional couple of inches to the top of the quilt. New batting, backing and ties were added to this quilt to bring new life back to it.
On to more volleyball projects for tournaments over President's Day weekend.
This quilt was originally sewn in the late 1800's according to the owner. The top is in great condition for being over 100 years old.
