Vintage Embroidery Quilt -- Half Done!... I mean DONE!!!

 The longarm quilting on my vintage embroidery quilt is still looking good.  It's half way done!


Having zero issues with the longarm catching on the embroidery.  ...and yes, a quilt that is done is better than one that is waiting to be quilted by hand.  I just think this is bubbles giant template board was a great choice for this quilt.  I was going to use the Baptist fan because it is a vintage quilt.  I'm so glad I picked this one.  


Although you can't see it in the photos, the center panel is just slightly yellowing from being a WIP so long.  I need to research what to wash this quilt in to help it.  Any suggestions?

Can't wait to see what it looks likes with the pre-printed hand quilting marking out of there.  Yes, the feathers would have been beautiful with the lines as background filler.  I'm just not there yet, and I didn't wait this quilt to have to wait forever.  There will be other quilts to hand quilt when I retire and the quilt room has been moved to its real location (upstairs) of the house.


I'm trying to work on this quilt at least an hour or two every evening after school until it is quilted.

I got a little carried away last night and just kept going.  The quilting is DONE!!

I only had time to take it off the frame and pose it for a quick photo.  The troops were hungry.
