I have just finished assembling a quilt top made from blocks hand embroidered by my 89-year-old Aunt. The quilt is a spread for a full-size bed, with enough length for a generous pillow tuck. I made a bed skirt with the white background used for the embroidered blocks and the border from the same fabric as the quilt sashing and borders. Then, to add to that, I made pinch-pleated drapers from the white background fabric, monogrammed with the initial "F" in 6" large script letter, and put the same borders on the drapes as I had on the quilt, and added a valance from the same fabric as the borders. This is going to be quite a room when it's all finished -- I'm waiting for the quilt to be quilted now so I can bind it and hang the drapes, and put the bed skirt on the bed. This will truly be an heirloom because the blocks were embroidered by my Aunt (who is 89) some 30+ years ago. True, I assembled the quilt top, made the bed skirt, drapes and the valance, but this is going to my son. The quilt measures (before quilting) 81" wide by 117" long. Yes, it probably will have to be laundered at the laundromat, instead of my household machine. Jeanette
