so the red-Squares quilt top from my Aunt’s Attic was finished this week. It quilted up beautifully and I had a nice bit of Kona Cotton in my stash that was just the right color. I debuted a few fabrics before settling on the solid and I think it turned out really well. My Aunt will finish the hand work (Really glad for that…)

This is laid out on my king sized bed. I think this will work well on a queen, or double. It ended up at 68 x 76. I changed my mind about the purple squares. I think there are part of the original piecing after all. It was so satisfying to finish this project started almost 80 years ago. Remarkable really.

I would love to hear about your legacy projects and if I can help you I am happy to do that. BLQ
