FINALLY I can talk about this last project on Facebook! Yes the BTB (Bride-to-Be) has seen the quilt and so have many family members!
I think it was a hit and all were stunned at what I was able to do with some cast off shirts and pants. I was able to spread it out on a King size bed and see what it looked like and was amazed at how different it looked than it did on display on a quilting rack. I was also surprised that my math was right and I only need to add two more side panels and the boarder to make it a completed quilt top. There is still a lot of work that needs to be finished on it, but I am now not under as much pressure as I was last week. In fact I get a "vay-kay" from it as the quilt is hitting the road to be shown at her wedding!
Yes, I will be posting some picture of the quilt as soon as I can figure out how to get the photos from my camera to this site. ;)
All in all I think that this was a great start to Dame Ashely's Attic. I have a few quilt tops that are finished and all I need to do is back them and price them. I truly do hope that I can start making this a true Cottage industry for my self. (Yes I will post pictures of those quilt s as well!)

The quilt is SPECTACULAR!! Such a wonderful way to capture a family's history....."thank you" is not an adequate word to express my appreciation of your work! LynnV
