Ruth's French Braid Memory Quilt

 My customer's French Braid Memory quilt is finished (other than the binding, which she will put on).  This is a gift for Ruth's sister-in-law, and the back of the quilt is made mostly of squares from shirts belonging to Ruth's late brother.  Can you see the pockets on a few of the squares?  The shirts were cottons, wovens, and knits.

I used a light tan 40-weight cotton Gutermann thread on top, and white 50-weight So Fine in the bobbin.  The pantograph is called 'Curly Hearts'.  The quilt measures 81" x 99".

Quilting French Braid Quilt

 I should be able to finish quilting my customer's quilt tomorrow, if all goes well.  This is a double-sided quilt.  I tried my best to center top over backing; but I can never guarantee that it will be perfect.  We shall see... 😏
