Midweek report and a request for help
I've done well this week.... so far. Two customer quilts finished, one of Rosie's Camp Reach for the Sky quilts quilted and another step closer to getting my sub number for the elementary school district. That last one is a story for another time... cause it's not over yet.
One of the customer quilts was a bugger. The gal is new to quilting. I don't know if she knows much about measuring for sashing and borders or how to square things up. She asked me when I delivered this quilt today if I would do another one for her. I will definitely do a more thorough check in with her present next time. Good opportunity to teach. :c) Here is one of the problem areas...
This is after I pressed a fold and basted the green border..... and.....
quilted. There was a lot of fullness in this quilt. The panto, Featheration by Meredith England was a good one to suck some of that up.
Ok... I'm looking for persons with older quilt pattern knowledge to help me. Today at quilt class we had a "yard sale" of sorts. Gals brought quilt and sewing related items they no longer wanted and put a for sale price on them. This following hand pieced and appliqued top followed me home. I bought it from Janiece. She found it at her MIL's place after she passed away. That's all she knows about it. As you can see, there are 3 vertical rows. There are 4 additional flower blocks and 4 (not the 5 needed) leaf/stem blocks to make an additional row. The off white background is slightly stained. Anyone ever seen this pattern before? Know what it's called? TIA for any possible help.
