I had bought the top a few years ago at a quilt show near Carlsbad and forgotten about it. It's totally done by hand:
Whoever made this made a truly scrappy top and some creative piecing.
She even used the fabric where it was joined at the mill.
My question is this - do you think this can (or should) be saved. The white muslin is fraying at seams. Click to enlarge the fourth picture and you'll see what I mean. Someone (not me!) must have washed it in trying to clean it and made the seams fray even more. I'm considering making the missing flower, replacing the few printed fabrics that are shredding with some 40s-50s fabric I have, laying the top on a piece of white fabric and then sandwiching to thin batting and a back. Then again, I might just salvage the flowers and set them on white Kona and remake the top. Help!
What are you working on? Linky below. Would love to see your eye candy.
I"m linking to Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop and Richard's Link A Finish Friday. See you there.
