Thank-you for the requests reminding me to post the pictures of the completed quilt. I hope you enjoy seeing the finally completed 49+ year old quilt.
I'd like to say for those that have questioned the dating of this quilt via their identification of fabric they bought, sold or used in the 70's, 80's so therefore the quilt isn't as old as I relayed in the story of how it was gifted to us in 1967. I had also received a private email telling me I was an out and out a liar because she had fabric she'd just bought within the last five years so my story was (in her words) 'bogus'?????
These comments and the private email are hurtful. My story is spot on as I remember well the year I was married when it was gifted to us. I remember well the year Kate passed away 1969. So unless she worked on this after death, secretly in my cedar chest I can attest that the fabrics had to be from a date prior to 1967 when the flimsy was gifted to us and definitely prior to her death in 1969.
As Jan posted #16 some of the fabric prints are still being produced today by fabric manufacturers (she mentioned Kona specifically) so to question the authenticity of the age of the quilt via when they 'saw, used or purchased fabric' baffles me. Really dating this quilt wasn't even my initial question, so the inference that my story wasn't true was and is hurtful.
