Cascadia finish

This replica of an antique doll quilt was a recent quilt-along with Lori at Humble Quilts.  This week I pulled out some fabulous vintage fabric (that came from my mother's house) to use for the back and binding.   Mom had made herself a blouse and skirt from this fabric in the 1970's, but I think the fabric was old even then.

All finished!  I added a muslin border to lighten it up a bit and make the tiny blocks 'float'.  It measures 18.5 x 22 inches.

    How fun to use up an old fabric this way! The tiny block piecing on the front makes me drool, too. Wonderful job!

    I see that you added a border to your quilt. I am thinking of doing the same.

    It is so pretty. I still haven't gotten mine together and like looking at everyone's finished quilts to get ideas. I used a muslin for my neutral and I like the way you did a border around yours.
