Pass it on

An old quiltop discovered in my mother-in-laws basement storage room had never been finished.  It was found folded and deteriorating in an improperly stored box.  The quilt was cut up into large blocks and each block was re-worked and stitched with decorative machine stitching to  strengthen and mend damaged areas.  Combined with vintage rayon ribbon for embellishment and more vintage fabric for handles and linings of the bag as well as inner pockets,  the old quilt became a series of bags for daughers, daughter-in-laws and grand-daughters to keep and cherish for years to come!
