And here it is after 19 years or so.

Can you believe I have tears in my eyes?
I have mixed emotions about it being finished. It is like seeing a child graduate high school, or leave home for kindergarten, nah, not the second that was to quick, the first. LOL It is all hand pieced and hand quilted. I noticed after it being done that one side the top was being filled by the great grandmother and I did not catch it to round out the sides. Oh well, not doing anything about it now. It is her work. In my inexperience years ago, i did not pay attention. Now I would have either filled in both the sides so the scallops were not so great or I would have taken it out to make them the same. I do so love it and it will be a cherished memory and keepsake. When I pass on this life, I know which child will receive this beauty. She is the sentimental one and loves vintage stuff. Thank you for the encouragement. A finish for August, now to try for another six this month.
