It was a late night, Tuesday evening, but the quilt is finished and ready to take to my brother.

I will leave tomorrow after work. Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments and encouragement! This proved to be quite the marathon project but definitely worth it.

WOW! that is nice. and the way you pulled it together so quickly is inspiring. Thanks for sharing the progress and the end result
When did you buy the fabric, Monday? That is truely amazing, the quilt and the quilting are spectacular. Happy Birthday Katy’s brother, bet he won’t stop talking about this gift.
It is beautiful and your quilting is gorgeous!
WOW! Your brother will love his quilt and someday one of his descendants will show it off to friends as “The quilt Aunt Katy made.” What a heritage!
