The Hunt for Antique quilt tops and where I find them

[@suelambert5760]

I love this video so much. I think the tops need to be rescued and finished. You have done a beautiful job of saving them and I just love your quilting! 💕🪡🧵

[@ToniNov25]

Thank you so much!

Every time I quilt an antique or vintage quilt I imagine the quilt top is breathing a sigh of relief and smiling because it has finally been finished and can live out the rest of its days being loved and snuggled like originally intended.

I feel the same way too.. I also think the person who made it is excited in heaven seeing it finished

[@donnabarnard101]

I save every top I can find …. I think some lady in heaven is happy knowing her top was quilted I have a long arm and they all look so beautiful and works of art

[@ToniNov25]

Right I think the same thing.. when someone values what you love..

You are so right. My grandmother did basket quilts by hand

[@ToniNov25]

I love that ..

[@cybilverbeana]

Because of you I picked up a box with a quilt top at an estate sale…and there are all kinds of blocks inside it!

[@ToniNov25]

I’m so happy for you..

[@jeanettebenton]

Those are beautiful

I’ve done a couple of these. For a couple of them, it was very clear why they hadn’t been finished. Not straight, lots of puddling, and so on. Marianne Fons calls finishing someone else’s quilt “A partnership across time.”

A partnership across time!!! How lovely!!!

[@autumneidson]

I rescue crochet afghans often and now I will be searching for quilt tops.

[@ToniNov25]

Oh I love finding them.. I hope you get to find some beautiful quilts.

I have a quilt on my long arm that my friends 82 year old mother made before she passed away

[@ToniNov25]

Wow. That’s awesome.
