Oh, and a lap quilt I just found in my pictures that was done from antique blocks found in an auction box...lots of hand embroidery on the old blocks.
UPDATE:.. the pix of the queen size one above--with the gingham sashing.....I was just finishing the quilting of it when a good friend called to tell me her daughter's apt bldg caught fire while Kelli was at work. Her apt was a total loss--everything-- even the floor fell thru to the bottom apt. Anyway, she had lost her granny's SBS quilt along with everything she owned. Even her toothbrush. So I started her housekeeping again with this quilt. It was not important to me--I can always do another when I stop grieving for Kelli.
