What a beautiful quilt. This was a priceless heirloom the moment you started it. Your grandaughter is going to be one lucky lady someday.

I, too, have some pillowcases to turn into a quilt. Just need to figure out how to get the yellow out.

what an heirloom! the embroidery and the material looks as good as it was made yesterday, It is incredible the amount of work and time spent on these beautiful pieces.

I absolutely love this..what an amazing way to use those pillow cases - and such a lovely tribute to those ladies ! i remember sitting in the evening watching my Mom embroider our pillow cases - every one we had was embroidered - and it's only now looking back that i realize just how special that was. i have several tucked away in my cedar chest...which i am now tempted to use thanks to your clever idea. Well done !!!!!

The presence of love embodied in a quilt! OMG, I can feel all that love through seeing the pictures of you exquisite work! Be proud and treasure it, for it is truly a treasure!

This is, indeed, a treasure.

outdoor_gal 12-05-2012 04:07 PM

Beautiful and what a great way to showcase the pillowcases!

What a wonderful labor of love. You did a superb job. When I was a little girl, my grandmother cross stitched my name on a sheet set for me. These many years later, the sheets were falling apart and I cut out the part with my name and made a pillow. I use it every day in my favorite chair. You made a lovely heirloom, congratulations!

JBeamer 12-05-2012 05:04 PM

How wonderful. If your GD doesn't want may be it could be placed in a quilt museum just for the story, and the amount of years the quilt covers. Not to mention the workmanship.

Grandma Cindy 12-05-2012 05:08 PM

WOW, simply a work of love, beautiful...

grandmajuki 12-05-2012 05:43 PM

Wow!! great job you did a beautiful job!!

Nancygeddes 12-05-2012 05:47 PM

Your quilt will be cherished for generations to come. Hand quilting is a dieing art and yours deserves to be applauded as well as admired. You deserve a pat on the back for the tons of hours that has gone into all of those beautiful stitches.

redhotnana 12-05-2012 05:58 PM

Oh, this is just wonderful! And how proud all your grandmothers would be to see such a lovely finished project!

sewdamncute 12-05-2012 06:35 PM

What a wonderful quilt to be able to pass along to the next generation -- you did a great job!

Beautiful! It has so much charm to it, I really like it.

SandyinZ4 12-05-2012 09:08 PM

I am sure others have oohed and aahed too over this but what a neat way to preserve family memories. I can see why it took so long but it will be a family heirloom. Wow! You did great.

gail-r 12-05-2012 09:34 PM

Very beautiful, what a great idea.

M.I.Late 12-05-2012 10:42 PM

Oh how I love stuff like this. Reminds me of victorian era. Love it!

sassyg 12-05-2012 10:45 PM

Beautiful!!!!

chuckbere15 12-06-2012 12:19 AM

Wow! What a family treasure! I hope you made a label with all of the names so generations down the road will know the labor of love they own. I wish I could see the quilt in person, I'm sure these pictures don't do it justice! Thanks for sharing!

duckydo 12-06-2012 06:25 AM

What a unique idea, your quilting is just perfect.

Lady Jane 12-06-2012 08:25 AM

What a beautiful treasure you have to pass on!

oldquilter 12-06-2012 12:45 PM

What a wonderful thing to do with those pillow cases, how creative!

Peggy Jeanne 12-06-2012 02:25 PM

It was worth every minute! Beautiful!

Auntie B 12-06-2012 05:43 PM

What a great idea for pillow cases. I have a lot of cases that my mother and grandmother embroidered, and I never use them, what a great use for them, rather than sitting in the linen closet. Thanks for sharing.
