Love your quilt because I have the same one on my bed. My green is a little darker. My mother and sister passed it back and forth 35 years before finishing.

What a great job you did on this quilt! I have my grandmother's flower garden quilt on my bed now. It is pretty worn, but I love it.

You certainly did it justice! It's just beautiful. Cherish it forever!

I am making one of those. I have got the middle pieces done - in the process now of adding the white. I am so glad you posted this because now I can see how mine will look - someday. I am so intimidated about the hand quilting, though. I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Thanks for sharing. I will bookmark for when I get discouraged.

Beautiful!

Just beautiful. I am so glad you rescued that quilt and completed it. I think sometimes the people that give things like this away just don't know what to do with them and don't realize what a treasure they have.

Awesome. What a beautiful save.

Cathou 09-03-2011 07:20 AM

Double WOW!! Very nice job. You were very lucky to find such a nice quilt. Hope you bought a lottery ticket that day because it was obviously your lucky day! Also, the bed goes so well with the antique look of the quilt. Nice job with your hand quilting. I'm right in the middle of doing the same thing. Very relaxing and zen thing to do I find!

supergma 09-03-2011 07:41 AM

Beautiful! This quilt and Double Wedding Ring were my Mom's favorite quilts to piece and hand quilt. She made several of each. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful

BarbaraSue 09-03-2011 10:39 AM

If i didn't know better i'd think you took mine off my bed!
my grandma made mine as a graduation from HS gift.
the green in mine is more of a kelly green is the difference, and mine is for a double bed size comforter.
she did outline quilting by hand too!
beautiful :)

roserips 09-03-2011 11:19 AM

What a wonderful treasure you have! and beautiful quilting as well. I quilted one for a lady and wish it were mine those hexes are such fun no way to really get your speed up but they are so beautiful when finished.

Beautiful quilt. Glad someone rescued this beauty, and I hope whoever pieced it will know in their heart it is loved and appreciated enough to be lovingly hand quilted to finish the job. Bless you. :)

fairydawn 09-03-2011 01:29 PM

That is so pretty, I'd really like to try making one someday.
