I finished the Civil War Bride top!!


Ta-da!!!  It all over but the shouting (and the hand quilting, and the binding...).  I'm excited to baste it together tomorrow and get going on the hand quilting.



I did deviate on the borders, but after deviating on other stuff and adding sashing, it seemed normal to me.  It will end up being about 78 x 78 when all is said and done.


Here's the future recipient!!

In stitches,
Teresa  :o)

    Oh Teresa, it's just stunning!!! Your daughter will treasure this heirloom!!

    I love how you left empty spaces in the border, room for some fancy dancy hand quilting :0)

    Yay! for the daughter. I know she is so proud of her mom and her future quilt.
    The borders are just fabulous.
