Heirloom quilt

The quilt is done, and I have just quilted in the ditch along the major seams.  I thought about doing more quilting in the plain areas, but think it would ruin the look - I want the lace to stand out as a feature.  The garments that I cut up to make this quilt are from different women in my family.  When my new grandson is born he will be wrapped with the love that goes into handmade items from great aunts, great great aunts, great great grandmother and his grandmother.  I hope he feels the love. I am a bit slow, and late, but thought I would link this to the slow blogger link  here  .  I think it is quite appropriate to be slow about this.....dont you?
