Thanks. It had been a wedding gift to a friend from her mom. She just kept it all those years and then donated it to the charity but wanted it finished before being donated. It was decidedly beyond my capabilities but I took it for "Show N Tell" to a women's group and that's when one of the ladies there bought it from me - unfinished. She had a group of "vintage" ladies do the finishing by hand. By "vintage," I mean that the least vintage one of that group of quilters is about 85 years young. I want to be referred to as vintage when I get to be that age versus being called old. Vintage just sounds sweeter.
