Default New and Old

Hopefully the two pictures will be of my mother's 1936 wedding quilt and the second two pictures will be the one I made to be like it. I had shortened it in the beginning and then I decided to add a piece to make it long enough to put on a twin bed so the two quilts are a bit different.

I would be hard pressed to tell which is new and which is old! You managed to duplicate the original so precisely from fabric colors (how did you manage that, didn't the original fade with age??) to quilting motifs. Well done!
