Great Grandma's quilt is finally finished

I'm so proud to own this quilt and especially glad that I took the time to finish it. It was hand pieced in the 1930's by Mary Elizabeth Dailey Boulton in an old Hawaiian pattern. this is my ex-husbands grandmother. The unfinished quilt top has been at my house for over 20 years. Because it is cheddar yellow/orange it was not in high demand. So now it is mine and I love it. I put a vibrant Amy Butler print on the back and had it quilted in a non-traditional way.
