Family Reunion Reversible Quilt - The final signature.
 
4 Attachment(s)
I hope this is not too long and that I posted it correctly. (I've never posted as a new thread before.) I was given the responsibility of making the quilt for the annual family reunion to be auctioned off. I had a piece of white fabric everyone had signed on along with those same names who attended last year - on individual embroidery sections. I could not help but use all of it since the last of the original generation had signed her name for the last time, as she passed away in May of this year. How could I not use her final signature? So, I decided to make the quilt reversible. It took some time but I now have it ready for September's reunion. I just thought I would share it with you.

Thanks for looking.

I think most of the Holloway's in our clan came out of Georgia and Alabama. We're probably related way back there somewhere!
