Another Vintage Tablecloth

I banded the edge of this vintage cloth with a 1" wide black and white check, cut on the diagonal, and a 5" wide piece of a deep red fabric. I love the way it turned out, in fact I liked it so much I decided to keep it for myself. Besides the fact that it looks as though it was made for my kitchen!

Vintage Tablecloths

I love them.... everything about them. I love the designs, the colors, the feel of the fabric and especially the history. I like to think about who original purchased it. Did they rush home and put it on their table or did they save it for a special occasion? What did types of food did they feed their family, was it a big family or small? Did they sit down every night and have dinner together? I love that each tablecloth has it own unique story.

I made this tablecloth into a baby quilt. It is banded and backed with a brightly colored flannel and tufted with yellow yarn.

I love it!
