All's Well That Ends Well.....

Well, here it is. I finished the antique quilt this morning around 10:45AM.  It took me 2 1/2 hours to make and apply 10 yards binding to the front of the quilt and then yesterday I worked from 7:00PM until 11:00PM tacking the binding to the back.  I only did three sides last night, my eyes, neck and back were too tired to finish.  After a chiropractor's visit this morning, I came home and spent another hour or so finishing things up. I hope to be delivering the quilt to it's rightful owner some time this afternoon.  I'm posting photos of the front, back, a close up of the quilting seen from the back of the quilt, a spot of my blood that will stay w/the quilt and a close up of the original hand sewing that was done by the creator of this "Lady of the Lake" quilt.  There has to be hundreds, maybe thousands of hand stitches made over 100 years ago.  I'm so impressed at the talent and love.

P.S.  I made a guesstimate of how many small triangles were hand stitched into this quilt....over 1000.
