Cross Stiched quilt top

I believe that Peggy's grandmother started the embroidery on this quilt, and it was eventually finished by Peggy.  The above photo show about a 1" square area that didn't get embroidered.  Oh well, finished is better than perfect.

This quilt has been a journey for Peggy and grandmother.  When the top was originally shipped, they sent two of the same side of the quilt top.  So, either two rights, or two left panels, and that really won't work. I'm not sure who finally tracked down the missing panel, but it was found and the quilt finished.

 The cross stitch design was printed on the fabric top, and the same with the quilting designs.  Some were more faded than others, making it difficult to follow, but again, finished is better...

 This quilt was intended to be hand quilted, not machine, so lots of little bits that required stops and starts and moves to the next space.  I think I got most of the jump threads cut, but I'm sure there are more.

 The outer edge just needed a feather to wraparound it, and then the entire background of the quilt was cross hatched.  Just stunning.
