Quilts seem to be the theme of my life right now. On the same day that a quilt came for me in the mail from my Grandma, my father-in-law stopped by to give me an unfinished quilt that my mother-in-law had started making at one point.
My mother-in-law passed away over three years ago... so I can't ask her about it. In asking my husband if he recognized any fabric in the quilt, he pointed out some flannel that he remembers as being a pair of pajamas he used to wear.
The other stuff, as you can see, is quite 70s! While this isn't really "my style", the fact that it was made by my mother-in-law makes it special to me. I plan on finishing it and using it as a picnic blanket. Though I'm not quite sure what I should use as the backing? Plain muslin? Some other basic color, and if so, which? Any suggestions?
I've never finished a full-sized quilt, so I'm not quite sure how to do it, but hopefully, with a bit of help from Google, will be able to figure it out.
