Default 20+ year old quilt completed

Now I have more time (retirement is so much fun) I have been going through my vast quilt top pile and pulling out tops to finish off quilting on them. This top was hand pieced over 20 years ago and there is even some poly-cotton fabrics in it. While I was working on my June Dolls Quilt Swap project (red/white/blue) I got inspired to finish this quilt.

Hmmm, wasn't hanging really well when I took the picture but it borders are straight.

May have to gift it to a lovely American quilting friend
