Arsenic and Old Lace
The old lace is my grandmother’s tatting reclaimed from her linen sheets. The arsenic includes Roses of Sharon and hexagons. The center white background block is a Schamber/Fincher Rose of Sharon appliqué design.
Turned-edge hexagons and some thread (?) - I think I was going to use that one blue in this quilt...
The four corner blocks - they could be something interesting all by themselves
I didn't have any of Grandmother's reclaimed tatting for the corners so I played with a decorative stitch on my machine
A stack of Roses of Sharon
One border done!!!
I could have made a table runner out of this project too
The reclaimed portions of my grandmother's tatting - some of the linen was repurposed in the original Alien Eyes
