\"granny1<\/a><\/p>\n

My cousin Gloria Bargeron gave me an unfinished quilt top that she thinks our grandmother made.<\/p>\n

During the ice\/snow\/sleet storms of Feb 2015, I was looking for something to work on and couldn’t get out to a fabric store.\u00a0 So I pulled this out. I had already washed it with OxyClean and most of the stains came out.\u00a0 Parts were hand sewn with inferior thread and had to be ripped out and re-sewn.\u00a0 And I had to even it up enough for it to lie flat.\u00a0 Fortunately I had 2 pieces of blue flannel that together could be the backing.<\/p>\n

My grandmother quilted by hand, usually in arcs that my father said she marked by holding a piece of chalk, planting her elbow and swinging her hand.\u00a0 It would have taken me at least weeks – probably months – to hand quilt this, so I machine quilted it.\u00a0 But I devised a pattern of arcs that start at each corner and overlap to create diamond shapes.<\/p>\n

This quilt ended up going to our cousin Marie, who did not have a quilt that Granny Bargeron made.<\/p>\n

This shows the assortment of fabrics.\u00a0 There are several different white fabrics, including 2 piques.<\/p>\n
