What a great job you did! I have a flower basket coverlet that was on my bed for most of my growing up years. It was pieced by a great aunt I think. There are a few areas that need restitching or replacement. I have been scared to even touch it but you have inspired me!

You did an absolutely wonderful job! It's beautiful. Don't you feel better having done the renovation yourself? You should be very proud of yourself. As the love in the quilt was passed on to you, you have been able to pass it onto others. If I were you I would make extra templates to be used int the future, so you can put a few extra scraps and the template from this one into a package along with your photos for reference.

I'd like to say "thank you" for sharing your story and your photos of your restoration job. But I also have a question, which I hope you won't consider too... too... Now that you have restored your precious treasure, and you know how much time it takes, do you think the job is worth the "$700" that professionals were charging? How much would you charge if you too on a project for an acquaintance, now that you are experienced? For example, did you count your hours of actual labor, beyond planning, shopping, etc.? I'm really interested in this aspect, and i hope you respond. thanks,

I hope you feel so proud of the wonderful job you have done to preserve this treasure. No matter what the fee to repair would have been, it would not have included the love you put into the project. Kudos to you!!
