Hello, my lovelies! Now that I've wrapped up both of my Christmas quilt projects, I've resumed working on my FrankenWhiggish Rose needle turn appliqué project and I'm continuing to weigh my options for a new machine piecing project. At the moment, I'm feeling wickedly inspired by a vintage hand pieced quilt top that my client Bobbie rescued from abuse and neglect and brought to me recently for longarm quilting.
Rescued and Redeemed: Bobbie's Vintage Little Boy's Britches Quilt

Bobbie isn't a quilter; she's an interior designer who loves and appreciates vintage quilts. When she spied this quilt top in a secondhand shop, she says it was black with filth and they were using it to wrap motor parts in or something like that! Can you imagine anyone doing that to a quilt top that somebody spent hours and hours piecing by hand?! I feel like the cops ought to have been called, or Social Services, or at least the Quilt Police!
