Here it is during the layering process. I added three borders, the first border I'd the original linen backing with all it's patina,the middle border is pieced using backing and using both original and new fabric, and the final border is civil war reproduction. I wanted the final border to be new fabric, I was afraid washing it, which the lady said she wanted to be able to do, if I left the final border with some of the original fabric, it would fray over time, so that is why I finished the borders with a reproduction. I stipple quilted the entire quilt, era correct, and it holds down the original pieces well.
