Look what's on my dining table.....

 ........ it's a quilttop!!!!!! Hurraaaaaaaay, I finished part 3 (Logistics) of my study Business Science / Administration yesterday. Half of april starts Financial management. But till then it's quilting time and cleaning the house (Marne and Elaine will be here in less then a month). 
What did I do? 
I took one my antique quilts out of the cupboard. It's one of the first antique quilttops I bought. It's probably from 1880-1890. It has been a quilt once, because you could still see it was tied (instead of quilted). But I think the batting and backing were too bad, so they removed the quilt top. Well now it's almost a quilt again. I know some people think you should leave it the way you found it. I like to repair them and turn them into quilts. Kind of giving them a second life.

Caro is back in quilting town ; )

Heel mooi en goed dat ie zo behouden blijft!
Ik vind het leuk om te zien dat een simpel patroon zo'n frisse quilt geeft.
Groetjes, Francis.
