One of them says "Norton, Kansas" and another says "1938."

All of the ladies had great names, like Flora, Norma, Ida, Doris, Lula, etc. (The quilt can double as a folksy girl baby-names guide.) The finished top looks lovely, if I may say so myself (since most of it is not my labor, I think I can say so). The back is assembled from random scraps I had laying around, like the ladies likely would have done back during the depression. Sorry for the weird photo here - the back is absolutely enormous.

Another, completely unrelated question - how am I going to baste this enormous quilt without the dogs running all over it and messing me up? The dogs seem to think that whatever project I'm working on is their new dog bed, and give me appreciative looks while making a nest out of heaps of batting. (Note: I mistakenly dumped an entire box of quilting pins into this batting, so Omie is quite the yogi doggie).

A final aside: I will be lucky if I finish this "wedding quilt" by Kristi's tenth wedding anniversary.
