Janet's Auction Quilt #2

This is the second quilt top that Janet purchased on Ebay. I haven't figured out why someone would spend all the time to piece a quilt top like this and then sell it.

I chose the Jacobean panto and I'm very happy with it. See that seam running diagonally through the middle....isn't that odd?

And the backing, which shows the quilting if you click on it.:

I'm almost half finished hand stitching the binding, so that's what I'll be doing this evening. I can't wait to wash it and see it all crinkled. I just may bid on this one at the auction.
