    Stunning....I absolutely love covered bridges. Found some postcards on line of red covered bridges and framed them for the living room.

    Beautiful! I can't wait to see the completed quilt. I love the look of hand quilting.

    Such a big lot of handwork. They are beautiful. I am excited to see how you finish this work of art.

    Locally we have seven covered bridges in our county. I know how much work this was. You are amazing.
