I can imagine her excitement at this quilt being finished. Great job!

Oh, Eddie! You've turned a box of "What on earth will I do with these?" into an absolute treasure.

Your color and design selections, and the simplicity of your quilting have created a fitting, dignified background for this heirloom quilt.

Someone is very, very fortunate. Congratulations!

A really beautiful quilt and you did a wonderful job!

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. She has received the quilt and below is an e-mail that I received from her today:

David brought out the quilt and it is even more beautiful than I tho't. You did a fantastic job on it. Be proud of yourself. That quilt will go to David. We had 3 kids and I will divide everything like the quilts. Since he has been doing all of the running I gave him his choice and he chose the one you just finished. Has his great grandmothers and great, great grandmother plus various aunts, etc. I am more than excited about this quilt. Just can't find words to tell you how much I appreciate all you've done and are doing. Thanks again, Garoldine
This is the second of three quilts that I'm doing for her from vintage blocks. The next one is going to be of blocks that her mother had and is a signature quilt also. The blocks were made by fellow teachers at a school she taught and when she left teaching there each teacher made a block and embroidered their name on it.

Now that is a wonderful family heirloom that you had a hand in bringing to life! Excellent job!

You are right - the embroidery is a treasure to behold - actually, the whole quilt is!!!
