Gee's Bend quilt is done.

The Gee's Bend quilt is done! I forgot to post this here; I had posted it on my blog Jan. 19th. It finished 40.5 x 49.5". I had started this piece on 2/21/15 in a QuiltCon workshop with the Gee's Bend quilters. I had the ladies autograph it which they said I was the first person that ever asked them to do that.  The backing is a piece of Dutch Wax African fabric that I had in my stash.

Congratulations on finishing up this historical quilt. It looks really nice (of course I love anything red, white, and blue). Good memories.

What a marvelous idea to have the women sign your quilt!

This is one of my favorite quilts. You’ve done a fabulous job and so clever to ask the Ladies of Gee’s Bend to autograph it for you. A wonderful memory.
