She moved and I guess took my quilt along with her and it was one I started when my first born was a baby and I didn't know if I was having a girl or boy and made it pink, which we both know wasn't the right choice. Grrr.....LADY in Clinton, if you are reading this......send me back my quilt, please!!!!! <strong> That stinks! How long ago did you take it to her?

Being a quilter myself, my eyes first went to the actual quilting on the 1st one before looking at the overall quilt. Being a "modern" quilter, I have done very little hand quilting, but enough to fully appreciate the work involved. The quilting is usually the first thing that draws my eye when I see a quilt. My Mom got into quilting, with a group of friends, back in the 70's. They would go to Helen's Quilt Shop, 50 miles away, every Tuesday night for years! They learned to hand piece the blocks, hand sew the blocks together and finally t0 hand quilt the finished project. I now have the quilt that she made during that time and all it needs is to have about 2 feet of the binding hand stitched and it will be done. I need to get it out and finish it, and take pictures of course! It's a sampler, with many different & beautiful blocks. I also have several boxes of UFO's of hers, that consist of completed hand pieced blocks, thread and backing, all boxed up and ready to be put together. Before she passed, she encouraged me to machine piece them, but it seemed so wrong! I need to do that tho', cuz I haven't the time or patience to do it by hand! Sad, isn't it?! The fabric & color choices from that time period are not much to my liking (what was wrong with us in the 70's? hee hee) but I will finish them and someday her 3 great grand-daughters will be thrilled to have them. <strong> By all means finish that quilt and keep it for your grand-daughters. I can't think of any thing more precious. The quilts are amazing! Being a quilter myself, my eyes first went to the actual quilting on the 1st one before looking at the overall quilt.
