This is quilt top number three of the quilt tops I acquired in February.
This one has some issues, but look at those cute boats.
I couldn't pass it up.
As you can see on the backside, this top is hand stitched.
Unfortunately, the stitches are fairly large.
You can tell from the strings and clumps of threads on the back
that this top has been washed.
Large stitches and a top that is not quilted but washed
is usually a disaster as is the case here.
Some seams are coming apart, the edges are not holding together
and it appears to not be square.
I believe this used to be a complete quilt at one point
because there are crease lines and threads near the edge
and lots of areas with what appears to be former quilting threads.
But I will not be deterred.
