Thank you for the compliment.
Does your husband collect Civil War artifacts?
My husband does and he loves to trade stuff.
Right now he has a Civil War Musket he wants to trade for a Civil War sword.

I am going to attempt to hand quilt this top.
My friend Florence who works at Hancock Fabrics picked out the needles (size 7 - quilting/betweens) I need to use. She also advised me on what basting spray to purchase. I used my 40% off notions coupon for it.
She also told me that the quilting technique I was describing to her was called 'Echo Quilting'. That is how I will quilt this URR.
Really looking forward to starting this next step.
