    Default Family Reunion Reversible Quilt - The final signature.

    I hope this is not too long and that I posted it correctly. (I've never posted as a new thread before.) I was given the responsibility of making the quilt for the annual family reunion to be auctioned off. I had a piece of white fabric everyone had signed on along with those same names who attended last year - on individual embroidery sections. I could not help but use all of it since the last of the original generation had signed her name for the last time, as she passed away in May of this year. How could I not use her final signature? So, I decided to make the quilt reversible. It took some time but I now have it ready for September's reunion. I just thought I would share it with you.

    Thanks for looking.

    That is one of the best reunion quilts I have ever seen. You deserve a big pat on the back for that one - and its so beautiful too. Whoever wins the quilt will have a family heirloom. Bravo...

    Awesome family treasure! we have made quilts for our family reunions in the past, but it has been a long time since we did that. Maybe I will make that suggestion again!
