When I was up in Maine last week I stopped at a ton of antique stores. I found an awesome quilt top that basically in a pile of blankets and old quilts at a place on Post Road. The tag on it said $395.00. I went to the owner and asked if she had any other unfinished quilts. She wanted to know what I meant. I showed her this one and she said name a price. I said $35.00, she said "sold." :)
I have no idea how old it is but if you want to venture a guess please let me know. I was thinking 1980s, but I'm totally clueless on these things. It has a few small stains that I will try to get out before I quilt it. It's about a queen size I think. The applique zig zag stitching is not very good, but I think it will be fine. There are also some penciled lines on the green. I think he/she was planning on quilting it, but never did for some reason.
Anyway, hope you are having a wonderful day.
Until next time,
Mike.

Many of my followers and quilting friends have told me that I need to change the name of my blog because I am not an amateur, but at heart, I always will be. I call myself an amateur to remind me that every stitch, every fabric shape and every seam is more perfect when it looks like it was made by a human being (especially if it’s me, and I am not perfect). This way I spend more time admiring my finished masterpieces and less time ripping out stitches. This is just a little bit of my journey...
