I have two UFO's in process at this time.
I started repair work on this back in the fall of 2022. Once done it will be given to a cousin who saw her mom help quilt our great-grandmother quilt it.An example of the repairs needed......There were 3 cornerstones that needed to be replaced, and 6 of the sashing sections. Fabric is delicate so I'm just appliqueing the replacement on top and then quilting to look similar to the original. Original cornerstone fabric was a light green, closest I could find was a pale blue that comes close to the faded color. Batting was made from local grown Texas cotton and there is no scrim in it. All of which makes it difficult to hand quilt through at times.
There were 5 of the Sun Bonnet Sue quilt that needed repairs - 5 bonnets and 3 dresses were replaced. Hand sewn down and black floss used for the matching embroidery.
Hand quilting the new fabrics down.
