Oh! my goodness. That quilt is gorgeous. Wow, makes me want to gather up all my black, white and red and do one. I love it.

PS: In our antque guest room I have a bed just like yours! The design on my headboard might be slightly different. I also have a sqare nail tongue and grooved dresser with the original mirror that dates back to the mid 1800's someone told me. I took the mirror down to have it replaced about 40 years ago and the guy wouldn't do it. He told me I would ruin the antique by switching the mirror.

The borders look really nice. They look they are the right size to compliment your quilt. Good job.

My husbnd was going to get rid of the bed but my mother said no your not and she took it home and refinished it and used it until she was gone and then i got it back. I have a chest of drawers that goes with it which my son refinished it. we had bought the set at a auction.

I think the borders finish it off nicely. Very bold quilt and I love the mix of red with the black and white.
