This is the grey quilt I pieced quite a few monts ago. I finally finished the quilting on it-tossed it into the wash/dryer and it is an instant heirloom! The quilt blocks were made by someone else, I purchased them about 15 years ago when visiting in FL, the grey fabric is from my childhood-curtain in my room so this really is old already! I had sewn and bound this quilt with just stitch- in-the-ditch quilting but I experimented and loaded it on the frame even tho it was no longer layers and it worked just fine! I learned that it is hard to sew a straight line-curves are much easier but it was good practice and I am so happy with the results.
