My mother recently made her first quilt, a sampler quilt.  She wasn’t entirely happy with the finished result – but Mum is very hard on herself!  This quilt is her second quilt: a lap quilt from reproduction civil war prints.

Aren’t those fabrics lovely!  The backing fabric sets them off beautifully too.

This quilt looks even better in real life, and Mum did a lovely job of piecing and quilting.  She sewed the binding on by hand, and it is perfect.  Congratulations Mum!
