The back of my Levens Hall Quilt

I used 2 vintage French fabrics and a vintage English fabric on the back. The batting is a very thin batting called "quilt lite", 100% woven cotton - which looks a little like a loosely woven wool.

Levens Hall Quilt

The original Levens Hall quilt (c.1708) has been quilted in a red cross-hatched grid, about 1/2" all over.  My quilting, also in red thread, is cross hatched about 1 1/2" all over.  Crosses, octagons and lozenge shapes have been fussy-cut to showcase special fabrics.
