Oh....my......goodness!!! What a beautiful work of quilting. I can only dream that I will ever be able to attempt such beauty. Thanks so much for sharing. I can understand why it would be hard to return it to your sister.

At one time, my sister was hand quilting small projects and she wanted to try a larger one, so she bought this at Joanns. Well, life got in the way and she's not really interested in hand quilting anymore. We did find other vintage tops (not sure who made them) in her closet that I"ll be finishing, too. One is a really old sunbonnet sue. It needs some work before I can quilt it but I'm looking forward to it!
I like how chickadeee55 described it, "a canvas for you to create on". I'm a big fan of cheater cloth and panels, use them for quick gifts etc., but I've never seen anything like this and it took a good long look to realize it's just one piece of fabric. Your quilting is absolutely spectacular. Do you have any idea where it came from or why it was in her closet? Left there by someone who lived there before? You've created a treasure, would love to know more about it.
