It was windy and beautiful yesterday, the temperature in the 80’s which felt wonderful for a change so I took my quilt outside for some photos. It is 65 x 82. I actually took 2 old sewing machines in cabinets outside so I could clean them and take some photos but that is for another post.
Notice the binding is strips from the different fabrics? Even 20 years ago quilters were doing that.
I was surprised when I looked at the back of the quilt and saw what I had written on it. I usually just sign my name and the date. I even named it! The Reynolds Quilt – that is where we lived at the time.
Since I had the quilt out I washed and dried it, love my new washer with no center agitator, it does a fantastic job with bulky items.

I have to say that is actually a pretty quilt from 1989. There were lots from 80s that look so dated but this one doesn't. What brand washer did you get without a center agitator? Mine is 37 years old so I need to think about the next machine I will need to get.
