That is awesome and how wonderful to have two people in your life that did quilting.

A museum piece for sure. Wonderful family treasure and thank you so much for sharing such a marvel!

Find a way to label it with the story you've told us; a museum someday will thank you. It's wonderful!

treeseek quilter 01-25-2011 08:39 PM

I have a question....I am getting ready to make my youngest grandson a "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" quilt. It requires a lot of hand stitching the animals in their blocks..my question is do I turn the edges down and blanket stitch around or do I leave the edges ragged and then stitch or do I sew it with the machine.

treeseek quilter 01-25-2011 08:42 PM

This is absolutely beautiful. Job well done
