Default Gift for a friend

A friend gave me a bag of goodies she found when going through her mother-in-law's belongings after she passed. There were 3 needle turn appliqué blocks. I had no idea what to do with them other than save them. Recently came across them, squared them up and made a bright table runner. I think I need to do a bit more quilting on the border Then will gift the finished piece to her and her hubby when we return to work.

So cool. They have the look of Molas (sp) from South America. I like them very much. Isn't it nice to have a passed down UFO that you turn into a good memory.
peace

The blocks are beautifully and enhanced just right with the yellow. Gifted it back to her in this way is so very special of you!
