Pickle Dish Rescue Quilt

Ahhh....I love a good rescue quilt. My husband purchased this unfinished Pickle Dish quilt at an estate sale and gave it to me for Christmas.  It's so pretty!

Here's a closer look.  It's a fairly small quilt, 38" square, hand basted and partially hand quilted.

It came with this beautiful hand quilting hoop.  The hoop is about 24" in diameter.  It takes up a bit of space in my already crowded studio, but I do occasionally enjoy hand quilting.  I hope I can find some time to finish this lovely quilt in between other projects.

Here's a couple of close ups of the quilted areas.  There are diamonds quilted in this four patch section.

Both the colorful triangles and the white triangles in this section have been quilted as well.
 All together, it's a lovely quilt, begging to be finished.  I'll add it to my "to be quilted" stack.  I have a lot of projects planned for 2021, but I'm hoping to finish a few UFO's too.  What are your quilting plans for the new year?  Leave a comment below.

Vintage Pre-Loved Quilt Rescue

 I rescued this vintage quilt from my local thrift shop last week for $1.00.  It has some cosmetic issues, but I really fell in love with it, and the price was right.

 Some of the fabrics are worn, but the variety and design is wonderful.  I feel like this quilt has been through a lot of love.

 It's all hand quilted, too.  Really nice work.

 Here's a close up of a few blocks.

 Some interesting repairs have been made to this quilt in the past.

The back of the quilt has also been pieced together - so fun!  You can see the quilting in this photo, plus a lot of repairs along the edges.  I'm glad to have found this tattered treasure.
