Three pictures of the quilt top I rescued from an antique shop in Fortuna, CA. I showed pictures on this board last year. I just finished hand quilting it and want to show it off again, this time completed.

Love it! You did a great job of the hand quilting. My grannie used to hand quilt and yours looks just like hers did. Love the scalloped edge too.

Normally, I would look at those colours and go hmmmm, not my style, but that is just amazing, I love it. The quilting is perfect. Thank you for making me challenge my pastel prejudice :)
