I started this quilt at Christmastime in 2009 and I just finished sewing on the sleeve to hang it in my guild quilt show.
I wanted it to look like an antique 19th century quilt. I used my stash-- 24 different reproduction reds and solid white muslin, all machine pieced and hand quilted. I think it will look a bit more antique after I wash it and it puckers up.
