Next are some of the basket from the quilts done in each set of fabrics.
And here is as much of the center quartet of baskets as I could get:
And a couple of border closeups:
Now that I've had so much more experience quilting now, due in large part to all the Victory Quilts I've worked on, that I know that with the kinds of batting I use, I really don't need to do that incredibly heavy background quilting around the feathers.
The batting: In this quilt I used Warm 'n' Natural. Nowadays I use Mountain Mist White Rose or Quilter's Dream

Your grandmother Dolly would love this quilt!! Your quilting is beautiful!
Thanks, Eileen. I hope so. I was never able to find out if she had done any quilting herself, although we knew she pieced and appliqued.
The quilt is gorgeous . . . the quilting is gorgeous. Your grandmother would be so proud! If she's anything like my grandmother, she's proud of you no matter what anyway! Congrats on a wonderful finish -- what a great heirloom you've just created!
