Jan called this morning.
She finished the quilt and was in the neighborhood.
Here is the quilt and here is Laura
with blue hair.
And here is the quilt, sure to be extra warm
from its wool batt and velour backing.
Almost too thick to quilt, but doable.
Thanks, Aunt Janice!

How beautiful! Both the quilt and Laura. I love the blues. THAT kind of blues.
ReplyDeleteLove the smile on Laura’s face, equal parts of pleasure and pride in a job well done. Blue color and denim fabric can’t be beat.

I looked at that first picture and thought 'it sure is wrinkled'. then I saw the close up. it's the quilting. looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful - and I love Laura's blue hair!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that smile. This is a heirloom quilt. Made special with all those jeans but especially grandmas jeans. Lots of lessons learned from grandma tho sometimes my grand kids i think it goes in one ear and out the other.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks nice and warm. I like the way Laura;s hair matches the quilt.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the film How to make an American Quilt.
Another wow. The finishing touches have really made that quilt special.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Both Laura and aunt finished all that work in record time … another piece of family history.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt. I like the different shades of blue. And I'm amused by Laura's hands peeping over the top!
ReplyDeleteYour words, as always, make me laugh. Blue hair. Yes, what's with that?

ReplyDeleteA beautiful job by Laura and Jan.
