My Grandmother made several pink quilts using these fabrics. She made a pair of identical pink and green quilts, and I mistakenly thought this was one of the pair. I put it on display for the real estate photos and took a closer look at it. It was a different quilt altogether.
She liked a very tight buttonhole stitch...to the point it looks like a satin stitch with an edge.
This quilt also demonstrates some of her best hand quilting.
And just in case you write my grandmother off as a complete slacker, here's the scalloped edge.

You've got some big technical shoes to fill! that quilt is spectacular and I don't even like pink.
Anyone who hand quilts is never a slacker! Beautiful work, perfection always stands the test of time.
And handquilted in pink thread, no less. Very impressive!
Yeah, total slacker, she was! LOL
One word: wow. (Pretty good alliteration too!)
You obviously come from good stock!
That is just gorgeous!!! What a treasure!!
