About The Quilt: "Andrea collected vintage linens from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany at antique malls, charity shops, and from family members for this quilt. She wanted to display the beautiful pieces in a way that would give them a new lease on life. Andrea reclaimed parts of tablecloths, place mats, pillow cases, her mother's crochet handkerchiefs along with repurposed stash and vintage quilting fabrics for the quilt, then designed and hand appliquéd the border."
