After nearly 53 (no, make that many) years since the loss of my ancestor’s quilt, I now have my replacement and I am very happy with my crazy quilt.Gwen at http://scrappyangelquilts.blogspot.com/ had a great idea about writing the story of the loss of my ancestor’s quilt and putting it on the label …. And that is exactly what I’ve done. Thanks Gwen for the idea.
It is hand quilted and I seem to be on a recent kick for circles.
Had a bit of fun making the backing. This is not my usual way and it is just a tad crazy, but I sure do like the effect. Matches the quilt, don’t you think? :o) I still have a lot of this stripe material and will be using it for another crazy backing.So enjoy and have a great day!

I LOVE it!! The circle quilting is perfect for it. What a wonderful job you did recreating the lost heirloom. The label will keep the memory of it alive for many generations.
Your quilt is just lovely, and because of the circumstances, it is now even more special.
Your quilt is fantastic. Love the backing too.
I didn't quite manage to leave the Creativ Festival without a few half-yard cuts. But it didn't seem as though there were as many vendors there this year!
Hey thats great and I love the way you quilted it too.
I hope it lasts for many generations and brings many warm memories to those who come after you.
Oh Rose Marie your quilting is so beautiful, I have never seen this quilting pattern before.
