But it was only enough for a lap size and he thinks ALL quilts should be BIG. So dang it (LOL) we had to stop at more quilts shops and find more civil war fabric. So he picked out the pattern and I just completed the top. trying to decide how to quilt it though...........
The bed is in my sewing rm, that my design spot. And as i sew i lay the sections over the bed.
Itl looks very nice,but i love the iron bed just as much.My maternal grand mother use to have one just like it,sorry to say she has been gone since 1977 I was only 14 at the time,she also was a great quilter and christian,mother,grandmother,great grandmother.I truely miss her so much.
