and when I saw the quilt top I was intrigued with the complexity of the pattern and the quality of some of the hand stitching.\u00a0 It looked like two different quilters had pieced by hand and one by machine.\u00a0 The fabric appears to be from the 1930&#8217;s, but is not in bad shape other than some stains and some stretched bias edges.\u00a0 That&#8217;s really hard to avoid when working with triangles. \u00a0 I know that the value of antique tops can be destroyed by an amateur finisher, but the value of this top is sentimental.\u00a0 Edie assured me the family would enjoy a finished quilt more than an old stained top.<\/p>\n<p>First step was to gently hand wash it.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t get all the stains out\u00a0 but, as you can tell, a lot did come out.<\/p>\n<p><a

squares have pins to account for variations in the sizes of the blocks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sayre-nc.info\/annsquilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/02\/QuiltTop.jpg\" rel=\"attachment

measuring, I arrived at the conclusion that to make the quilt flat, I needed to take the blocks apart, baste each of the 36 blocks to a muslin foundation square and make them all the same size.\u00a0 The sides of the blocks varied from under 13 inches to over 14 inches.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sayre-nc.info\/annsquilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/02\/QuiltUnSquare.jpg\"

cut it down from 36 blocks to 30.\u00a0 That way we could omit the 3 most badly stained blocks and EITHER the 3 pink blocks or the 3 red ones.\u00a0 When Edie said her mother did not care for pink, that dictated the choice.<\/p>\n<p>The quilt has so many colors that I chose a quiet grey-green for a wide mitered binding and back.<\/p>\n<p><a
