Becca, what a transformation! You have "honored" this quilt magnificently! Just love the double blue sashing. This really inspires me and I will keep this in mind for the future that I can do the same. So often we run across "tops" that are unfinished. Just by simply changing the sashing, you have really transformed it into something spectacular! Good Job and great choice for the color.

My goal is to be able to finish quilts for people who want them hand-quilted. 'Cept that I don't have any samples of my hand quilting at home - just pictures. These quilt tops that our mothers and grandmothers have made need to be finished and honored. I came across this Dresden Plate at an antique store and I didn't like the green border, so I took it off, separated the blocks and added blue sashing. Last nite I got one row done to give me an idea of what this will look like and I wanted to share. I'll probably add a wider white border after the blue to get the quilt to fit my queen size bed.
The first picture is w/ the green that was originally on the quilt top - there was also no sashing between the blocks. The green (to me) is the wrong shade of green. I'm a blue girl, so I changed the sashing to blue. Then, of course, there's the local quilt inspector, Lady Grace on my current project.

Love what you did with the sashing. Your color and 9P corners finish this beauty perfectly. A proud moment for you. I call this a success. Lady Grace is a beauty too!
peace
Edit: I didn't notice at first but I love your "vintage" 5 panel doors. I say vintage 'cause most people are getting rid of these wonderful doors and replacing them with not nearly as nice modern doors. Just saying IMHO, I love them!
