Carol West's Quilt

This quilt of Carol's was already beautifully hand quilted in the two outer borders, but arthritis was preventing her from finishing the quilt center and one side of the inner border. I have a renewed appreciation for hand quilting and basting... I wish you could really see her amazing stitches!

I did paisley swirls in the center and finished off the fourth inner border with leaves similar to Carol's handstitched ones.
I feel blessed to be a part in transforming a quilt from a UFO stashed in the closet to a family treasure!
