I actually have no clue where the name of this quilt comes from, only that Mary pressured me to indulge! LOL (She didn't really have to pressure too hard)
I didn't have to look too far for the name of the quilt- terrific history of the quilt HERE.
I am finally done with my first border.
Here is the amazing quilt, which the pattern is being published by Virginia Quilt Museum. You can see for yourself at the link HERE.
I am behind, but have ordered red for the points and will start on the left border soon.
On another note:

We got more snow Saturday night! I think it's done for now.
Have a fantastic week!
I absolutely love that quilt you're working on. So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour border is gorgeous! I have had a hard time resisting this one, but I have way too many things going right now. I will have fun watching you and others!
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous quilt! Is that needle turning? Someday I would like to learn that but I need to get other skills under my belt first. I've only made a few simple quilts so far.
ReplyDeleteWow - that will be fabulous! I know I am too impatient to make those borders, but they are sure pretty.
