Mum's Stitches

I am not sure how long this quilt top has been on my UFO list.  My "Golden Oldies" list.  But I figure it must be around 10 years.  The cross stitching is my Mother's handwork.  She loved to sit and stitch up stamped quilt blocks for me to turn into quilts. At 87 she no longer has the dexterity to stitch so these will definitely be treasured.   This is the second full size one stitched by her that I have quilted up.  She reminded me of other blocks she has stitched in the past that I was supposed to finish up into a quilt for her that had been put out of sight (out of mind as well )  So more UFOs but they aren't part of this finishing quest that I am currently working on. 
  
This quilt is so difficult to photograph.  I was exhausted from trying to get a nice outdoor photo and I apologize , this is the best I could do.😞

86" x 104"

this shot is very true to real colour

I traced the motifs on using a template and an air disappearing pen by Clover and quilted in free motion.   

It really turned out lovely and my Mother was quite happy to have it for one of her bedrooms. 

I am currently quilting a large sampler and when that one is completed I will be  down to three tops left to deal with from my "Golden Oldies" list.  

Hope you are having a quilty day and finishing up something on your list. 😄
