Very, very nice. I love the colors and especially the history.

A true labor of love and to know your DD's a part of the quilt makes it all the more special. Kudos to you for finishing it. Heirlooms are always beautiful. Thanks for sharing and the smile along the way.

Bless your heart for finishing this beauty. I know you learned from it and isn't that what counts? Now you have a precious heirloom and a good story to go with it. Be sure you write it down and do put a label on the quilt back with some details of who, why, where, and how. ;) Someone will love you forever for doing it.

Every quilt has a story and I think yours will be passed down over time with a laugh or two. It is beautiful and you did a wonderful job on it - your grandma would be proud.

kathyd 10-16-2011 03:31 PM

Glad you were able to fix your "shift".
I had to fix one of my grandmother's quilts and she just stuffed and folded and trimmed till everything fit "just right". This grandma was not an heirloom quilter by any means. She was a make do quilter. My brother still has and uses that quilt (made 45+ years ago)!

angelwingz 10-16-2011 03:48 PM

its a treasure

Cagey 10-16-2011 04:26 PM
