I have a few of my Mom's finished quilt tops. Today I made the backing for two. I have a good friend who will be putting them on her long arm quilting machine and finish them with a simple quilting pattern. She'll send them back and I'll finish with the binding.
I hadn't seen this quilt top before. She made this some time ago. She hand appliquéd all the houses using fabric I remember giving her. She loved anything in shades of purple.
This quilt top also includes fabric I recognize. It's machine sewn and I can tell she made this later in her life. The seams are less straight nor even. She loves sewing and it didn't matter if anything was straight. It's still lovely and knowing she sat and sewed this in her 80's.
