Kitty's Antique Cross Hatch Quilt is finished!

These cross hatched blocks were made by Kitty's mother, and now, with the help of Kitty's sisters and the Bears, has been completed into one of the most beautiful quilts I've seen.  I consider it an honor to be trusted with working on such a project as this.  Enjoy these pictures.  I only wish you could see this one in person.  It is truly special.

The thread is Sew Fine by Superior in a light Ivory.  It simply "melts" into the embroidery.

Kitty requested that we pick up some designs from the cross hatch embroidery and carry them over into the borders.  We did just that.




Remember, you can click on any image for more detail or the quilting or the embroidery.





We left 1/2 inch at the outer edges for the binding.  A small gap between the quilting designs and the binding is always a professional touch. 

A ribbon in design in the sashing gave just a bit more movement.
