Another well-worn and dearly loved quilt that I have shown a small pic of some time ago. My Angela and her family have slept under this for years - how I ever made it amazes me, though I know I did do it - it is soooo big!.jpg)
The middle section is an interpretation of the Sarah Johnson Quilt, 1826 - I think she made this quilt when she was only 14-years old!

My quilt was started perhaps 11 years ago and repro fabrics were a bit limited in availability then - I was so fortunate to have what would have been a small collection and perhaps swapped fabrics with friends!.jpg)
I think the inspiration for the dolly border came from a cushion published in an Australian patchwork magazine, so here is the finished quilt and I think it will itself become an antique one of these days! Would be nice!.jpg)
Now to the present - I have quite a few finishes to do and I'm looking forward to that! Happy Day!

There's a style and grace to this quilt that leaves me speechless -- absolutely beautiful!
I love the dolly border every time I see it, in your header, in a quilt that Julia made, and now and then in quilts in my limited AP&Q collection. I have to make one some time. It's such a sweet way to finish a quilt.
Just gorgeous Lurline, this quilt is one on my "to do" list, I have it in an APQ magazine.
You must have been very pleased with it. Happy New Year, hugs Bernadette
