You did a great job on the enlargement, I can't even tell on the front!

Beautifully done - and I love the label!

I more than approve. What a lovely quilt and now it spans generations.

So pretty. You did a beautiful job.

You did such a great job of integrating the new with old to enlarge the quilt. I have two tablecloths, one cross stitched and one crochet, that were started by my grandmothers. I eventually finished both of them and it so special to have something that we both worked on, even if not together. This quilt will be a treasure for your family for years to come!

Beautiful! I like sampler quilts, and have a list started of blocks I want to put together "some day". You and your mom did good! BTW I noticed on your label that your name is Poole. That was my maiden name when I grew up in Arkansas.

I was really admiring your quilt then I noticed.....was your Mom's name Dortha? That is my name! I have met a few in my life but there are not many. I know she would be pleased you finished it and put it to good use.
