Below are pics of a quilt that I made from some Civil War reproduction fabrics. I decided to use a simple pattern of half-square triangles with alternating light/dark pieces, with the lights all being various golds. It measures 60" x 72", and I just did a meandering quilting all over it with my longarm.

I made this for a good friend of mine who is coming through here in a couple of weeks, so I'm glad to have this finished and waiting for him now. :)

Eddie, that's great quilt. I love 19th century quilts and that chrome orange "cheddar" is a real favorite of mine. It gives life and depth to your quilt. I bet your friend will appreciate it!
