This is one of about a dozen tops that belonged to a couple that I'm good friends with (he's the grandson of Mary Susan Senter). It measures 72" x 82".

I quilted this on my longarm using a pantograph pattern called Chantilly Lace.

I love to hear the history behind and antique quilt!!! Very well done!!!!
