A new quilt adventure

I just 'won' a partially completed quilt top from our local freecycle. I am really excited though I am not sure exactly what it looks like yet, I get it tomarrow. But it is really old, and it is hand pieced. She said it needs to be completed but is otherwise is good condition. I have never hand pieced before so it is a new adventure. I never hand do anything, but recently discovered I really enjoy hand quilting, so this is exciting for me to try. Anyhow just wanted to share about my new adventure in quilting :)

Oooh! Congratulations!! You'll have to post pics - both pre-quilted and post! :)

Believe me, nothing is more relaxin' than to sit in a nice comfy chair and hand-quilt! And you have the added bonus of bein' able to wonder about the woman who sewed the top, to boot!! Who did she make it for? Where did she get the fabrics? Hubby's shirt? Junior's short pants? Little Miss's Goin'-to-meetin' dress? What were her hopes and dreams? What did she do the day the idea for that quilt popped into her mind?

Sew many questions!! I know you more than likely can't find answers to'em, but you can think and wonder about'em while you quilt!! :)

Hi,

Sorry I never replied... I broke my computer :( I just set up newsgroups on my kids computer. Anyhow, it is hexagon blocks... the little tiny hexigons, attached together. The lady was a beautiful seamstress :) Better

1/4 in seams by hand than I get by machine sometimes lol
