I'm already tired of darker winter colors so decided to brighten things up. I bought this top in an antique shop and added the borders, batting and backing. I then hand quilted it. Lots of quiltng on this. I believe it to be the Dolly Madison pattern printed in the Kansas City Star in about 1937. I love star pattern quilts.

Love the quilt pattern & the fabric - the "real deal" is much better than today's reproduction fabrics. You did a gorgeous job finishing it.

Thank you. I just happened to have some floral fabric that looked good for the border. It's not as old as the original fabrics but still looked good with it. The inner border is unbleached muslin. It is on a queen size bed and still has plenty of drape.

Very pretty and looks very springy. I'm not ready for Spring yet. Hot summer always follows and I'm not ready for that either. You did a great job.
