I have 5 quilts that my grandmother made, but guess what? She made me another quilt (I do plan to eventually post similar photo shoots of the other quilts.)
She hand stitched the majority of this extremely awesome quilt. She only used her sewing machine for the stippling and part of the bias. It took a little over a year, but that’s an estimate of when I recall that she started working on it. Believe it or not, but the following may rival this in terms of coolness.
A bit of the back story. I was attached to the University of Georgia Press for seven and a half years. During that time, they published a very nice book entitled Georgia Quilts. [Link to the UGA Press Georgia Quilts] I purchased a copy for my grandmother several years ago. (I eventually bought a copy for myself and my mother too.)
So here’s the coolest part: She made this quilt solely from the photo of the Ozark Star in the Georgia Quilts book.
