It seems that Pat went into an antique store somewhere, and found this quilt top priced at $20. Where are these things when I'm in antique stores?!
Pat brought it to me and basically told me to have fun and play with it. We both agreed that wool batting would be best, giving it loft to show off the quilting, but also for warmth as it's future home will be as a throw on their sofa. It's just the right size to pull over you on a cold, wet Oregon day.
Boy did I have fun with this quilt! I hope that the unknown piecer, wherever they are and whoever they may be, is happy with the results.
These are in no particular order, but the solid white photos are of the backing to show the quilting. With that amazing medallion in the center, that needed to be highlighted, so SID around the rays, and background fill behind.
Two different ruler angle designs in the triangle squares, continuous curves in the squares on point.
Pebbling around the "X" blocks and nothing in the X's to allow those to pop. Looks unquilted on the back, but I love how it turned out!
The beige backgrounds have a feather wreath going around, and the white has 3 plumes in each corner.
Just straight wavy lines in the long borders.
The X blocks with the pebbling behind.
