Quilt - State Flower Blocks Embroidered by 88-year old aunt
Several months ago, I discussed (on a different thread-don't remember which one) pictures of some blocks I had assembled into a quilt-top, using a calico cotton for sashing and borders. Well, that quilt-top is now completed, and packaged to send to my cousin in Oklahoma for quilting. The further I proceeded with this project, the bigger the project got. So, not only did I make the quilt top, I made a bed skirt to match the quilt top, then made new drapes from the white percale and the border fabric, appliqued a large letter "F" for the Frantz family name, then made a valance from the cotton calico border fabric. We don't have them hung yet, and, I still don't have the quilt completed -- it needs backing, batting, and binding (I've already made the binding though). As soon as we can get this all put together, I'll try to take pictures of the entire room and post them. I am excited about the entire project, because I think it's going to be a real heirloom decor!
