My Mother in Law started this quilt project over 20 years ago. Her intent was to make two twin bedspreads. She did all hand applique and hand quilting of all the maple leaves. Her stitches are very tiny.
I've had the 3 pieces since 2009 when she passed. I started late Feb and finished in late Mar. Since this is only my second "quilt", I received some input from my quilting group. I ended up attaching the two small pieces together, and removed one of the "middle sashings in order to connect them together into one quilt. Then I put binding around the edge. I'm sure she would be pleased with the results.
