1970's applique

I received 12 large blocks appliqued, embroidered and hand quilted. This project had been started by a lovely Maine woman in the 1970's in Georgia Bonsteel's quilt as you go method.

• First the front sashing fabric is sewed together in rows.
• The batting is trimmed and whip stitched together.
• The backing seam is hand sewed.
• A cable was hand quilted centered over the sashing seam.
