I am speechless and if you knew me, you'd know how big of a deal that is! :shock: :-o :lol:

This quilt is one of the MOST beautiful that I have ever seen! I'd LOVE to make this one, wonder what the pattern is? (besides AMAZING!) I LOVE the colours and I am just blown away by your work. This was definitely worth saving!

I am so very happy that you have the ability to do such work and save such a beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing your work!

Still speechless! :-o

I agree with the ones who say better quilted and loved than hidden away in some cedar chest. Plus, your quilting has really taken this beautiful quilt to another level. I love and appreciate hand work (piecing and quilting), but I don't think it's sacrilege (sp?) to mix them, even if the top is very old. You have really done this quilt, and more importantly your client, a huge service. Keep up the good work.

absolutely AWESOME !! your cornelli lace quilting is breath-taking. you have showcased someone's wonderful work & now it can be viewed as a quilt instead of an unfinished top.

I hand quilt, but don't think that I could have saved this old quilt. You did a "service" by saving this old quilt and making it new again! What a beautiful old quilt and awesome job on quilting!
