late January had already prepared this mini quilt for quilting. Was enough to get the first rays of sunshine to give accurate and finish. The truth is there is no doubt that the month of May is the month of flowers. So, nothing better than letting these photos of "vase." At the moment, is already showing some pink flowers. I look forward to having time and devote a little patio, sewing condition it and get out ......
I also opted, as in the original, hand-quilting the diamonds from the bottom. Scored first with ruler and pen and quilted with thread Frixion special cream for hand quilting. Then I just had to spend a little steam over the plate so that, magically, disappeared in the blue hue boli. 
There you can see the original sample in the book of Kathleen Tracy "Remembering Adelia."
I was searching the web edge and got to know what library was. But that tone was just impossible to find. Even in a rest on ebay. Then I decided, after trying and testing and testing, with the one in the photo.
And it makes two finishes of this book using reproduction fabrics from the time of the American Civil War I learned in Sew Unique Creations , the store where I usually buy this type of tissues.
