Martha's Legacy

I've been meaning to post this for the past couple of weeks and keep forgetting. Mom's Mary Englebright quilt came back from the shop all quilted so I offered to put the binding on for Fran so that she could take it back to Toronto with her and start using it. Isn't it beautiful?

It is a large quilt, about 85" x 108" if memory serves me correctly, so it took the better part of a day and a half for me to get the binding made and attached.

Yet another bias gingham binding, my fave. And the cherry red that she chose is perfect - it's bright and fun and works really nicely with both the back and the front, tying everything together nicely.

Betty took a few photos before it was packed into the car and it looks like she found a treasure. At least one of the blocks is from our maternal grandmother's stash. How's that for a family heirloom?

It took more than five years to get it quilted but it's now done and ready to be loved. Sweet dreams, Frances....M
