I just finished requilting this pretty little thing that my hubby's mother quilted for her great granddaughter Aris,. Soooooooooo, it has been loved and handled by: Erbyl Wilson, (My mother-in-law that has passed), Cynthia Brown, (my daughter in law) Aris Brown, (my granddaughter) Judi Brown, (myself) and now on to Kinsley Christine Schwab, ( my great granddaughter). The fabric was so worn, that when Aris washed it to use for the baby, all of the quilting just disentigrated. She sent it to me, and I was able to discard the crystalized polyester batting, remove what few quilting stitches survived, I had to cut it down just a little because the shrinkage was awful, and I requilted it very tightly so that the loss of integrity in the fabric should now hold up/ I hope. Added a label honoring the 5 generations, and it will go back in the mail tomorrow. Turned out kind of cute, if it will just hold up.

hope you can zoom in on the quilting
