I'm planning to start quilting it tomorrow. I need to put a new needle in my Tin Lizzie and decide on what to use for the backing. I have a bunch of backings ready, I think I'll go with something plain for the back because the top is so busy. I'll post a picture when it's done. Thanks to all for the nice comments. I do feel so lucky, still smileing!

It is very large, 88X93. The workmanship is vey nice, points meet, seams presed etc. I can't wait to quilt it. Any ideas out there of when it was made?
