And as for the piece that was removed, I strongly feel it should not be used as a separate piece such as a pillow top, instead, the piece should be attached to the quilt as it originally was meant to be, not finished seprate, as this would leave room for the quilt top and the detached piece to one day end up miles apart from each other :( calicosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395310237900364816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894435671049019199.post-55297366377598248402013-10-30T18:51:23.828-07:002013-10-30T18:51:23.828-07:00Hi Lynn, I have never finished a quilt top or repa...Hi Lynn, I have never finished a quilt top or repaired an item in my collection. I just try to take good care of it as is. But if you were to finish and bind the quilt, I would want to see the two blocks reunited with the whole. After all, it's for a collection not for common use. By the way, what did you decide?<br />Maureen <br />Maureen CraigMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809372054688098221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894435671049019199.post-11180638716253372232013-08-18T21:47:07.511-07:002013-08-18T21:47:07.511-07:00Hello Lynn,

If that's not a concern,<br />why not treat the cut off portion as a pillow cover? Before pillow shams, a decorative (pieced, appliqued or embroidered)<br />panel would be laid atop the bedding's pillow for show and be removed at bedtime. Or, attach the extra portion to a cotton<br />pillow case and use it to store the folded quilt when not in use.<br />Though I now attach a separate binding to my quilts, my mother and her friends (all born in the early 1920's) would bring the back (lining) to the front OR they would tuck in both front and back in order to whipstitch the edges together. Would either treatment fit in with the timeline of your DH's quilt.<br />Love the crib quilt, especially the aqua! <br /><br />Delia in RB<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894435671049019199.post-74888178373135490542013-07-29T17:50:27.721-07:002013-07-29T17:50:27.721-07:00Yes I am saying right at c. 1850.

And I think the design was very popular in the 1850. I think unfinished for many, many years. When someone found it four poster beds were no longer in vogue. That is why the bottom section was cut off from the quilt.
