because today I've been commissioned to finish a beautiful vintage quilt.

The quilt has been made mostly from clothes from the 40s and 50s and the prints are so varied and gorgeous.
It is a very large bed quilt and the hexies have been appliquéd onto a pretty blue backing.
Quite a bit of the hand quilting has already been done, though it's still going to be a fair amount of work.
It is a special task and one I will thoroughly enjoy!

Wow, have fun with that.
How wonderful is that! Hope you don't mind this cheeky question, but how do you ever decide on a price for a job like this?

That's absolutely gorgeous! I have been so hexie obsessed and those vintage fabrics are to die for! And what an honor to help finish such a special project!
It really is an amazing and special task - I love those 1950s fabrics especially!
Enjoy the task looking at all that vintage fabric!
What an honour, Lucy. I bet you spend lots of time just looking at prints that are over half a century old. Enjoy!!!
