Remodel Sewards Folly

page counter This is my "remodeled" mystery quilt named Seward's Folly.  In a previous blog I showed you the original. It didn't fit the maple 4 poster as I wanted .  So, I asked my pro-long arm quilter,Marian Drain(Cuddle Time Quilts) if it was possible to add to three sides; she said "YES"!  I had enough extra fabric to make the additional lenghts on 3 sides!  I proceeded to carefully remove the binding and give the quilt to her and she performed her talented magic!!! I added more binding to the already made binding and attached it !!! As you can see it fits perfectly and I also had enough fabric to make a pair of matching pillow cases.  Sorry that I didn't include them on the bed for the photo!!!  I bought this double maple 4 poster 52 years ago at a local maple furniture store that closed long ago.  I wish I had bought a canopy then, but just getting the bed was a delight at the time!!!
