I found this quilt top and held on to it for awhile. There were many flaws and worn areas that took it out my decision making for a finished quilt. But the colors were so vibrant for 1930's material. So I chose Hobb's Heirloom Batting-80/20 (80% cotton & 20% polyester), and backed it with my favorite "backing fabric", to give this wonderful quilt top, some stability. Red thread really shows up, among the fabric choices. I chose my Christmas Holly and Bells stitch pattern and quilted up this Queen size top.
My finished project will be Christmas Stockings for the Holidays. I will be selling these stockings that my quilting partner, Lorna, and I make! This has been a great way for us to re-purpose quilts that we have found. We love that the fun, colorful, and cheerful fabric from 1930's flower-feed sack era, is still alive today!
