We chose a batting that didn't require close quilting, so that we could make good progress on it while I was visiting her last winter.

We made our summer trip to Mom's in ND last week and put on the binding. We had so much fun doing this quilt, and it is now on the queen sized bed in our guest room. It will be treasured!
