friend's applique quilt

I met a 92-yr old woman at a bingo game back in 2013. We got to talking about hobbies and i mentioned that i quilted. She told me she had a applique quilt kit that she had started but due to her arthritis was unable to complete. I offered to finish it for her although i knew my applique skills were far from perfect. I took my time and finally finished the applique. I looked for backing material to match the blue border ( the lighter blue in pictures) but was unable to find anything close. Upon asking my friend if she cared what color backing was used and getting her okay, i found a cream tone-on-tone that i picked up at a local thrift shop that was the exact size i needed. The quilting pattern is stamped on the material and is hard to see unless i get the light angled just right. But it is getting done and I am loving the result. Once the quilting is done, i'll turn the border to the back to bind it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]508670[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]508671[/ATTACH]
