Yes! My vintage quilt repair is finished! As many of you already know the story of this quilt.....the very first quilt I ever attempted somewhere around the year 1973 or 1974 didn't go well......I had to send it to my Mom to bail me out....I think all I sent her were the blocks I had finished and some I hadn't finished and she gave me back a completed quilt. Over the years all the old cotton batting had clumped together (the quilting had been done with the tie method) so I pulled it all out and the quilt lay in my UFO pile for years waiting to be reborn.............until NOW!

I was able to salvage a lot, not all ) of Mama's hand stitching on the edges when I did the repair......I used a low-loft cotton/poly blend to fill it then did a meandering FMQ all over except for the stars..........which I tied last of all in the center with a yellow yarn....
