Oh! It is beautifu! If it were left up to me, I would not disturb your Aunt Lois's piece work. The wide sashing would be great for feather detailing. I can just see it right now in my mind. It would be beautiful! But, I can see what you are saying too. That would also be a good thing if you don't mind disturbing her quilt. I'm sure she'd be proud of anything you do out of appriciation of her quilt and not just putting it away undone. Oh! Was it worn or had holes in it here and there, from what I see it is in good condition. Anyway, please post pictures of it when you complete it. Beautiful!
