Beautiful quilt and I really like the job you did on it.

Nice soft colors. Calla

Beautiful. Would not be able to tell if you didn't tell us. It looks like you planned it that way. You are very creative.

I'm unclear why the binding was left on. Was it easier leaving it on? How did you attach the new layers?

I attached the new part by laying it under the original quilt and stitching the top and batting (of the new part) in the ditch of the original binding. Then folded a hem in the backing and finished that by hand. Since it has been several years ago that I did this I can't remember just exacty what I did. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

To answer Balloonatic's question...I saw no reason to take the original binding off...this just seemed the easiest way to add the new part. Besides that it gives it a nice look as well as giving me something to grab on to when I make the bed! (Actually, since retiring my DH makes the bed!!!)

thanks for showing that an added on quilt can look very natural

Very creative! One would never know it was added to. Nice job. tfs

I had to do the same thing to one of mine a while back. You quilt turned out beautiful.

So beautiful, and very nice.

Wonderful job! Could barely find it. Pretty genius!!!
