Beautiful quilt-that homey look of Log Cabin. Now it will have a few accents to endear it to everyone in the family. Most adults have memories of having destroyed something through experimenting or trying something new. Though I am 79 years old I remember distinctly that my destruction experience was the mantles in the kerosene lamps that predated the farm houses before electricity came (1946 in that part of Colorado) If you touched them in the package they were a soft meshy fabric. If you touched them after putting them in the lamps they looked like a bulb (diffused the flame) and were brittle and broke up if touched. I touched them all and broke them. We all had to go to bed when the sun set-without supper. Yes, I was sorry and tearful. No one was harsh with me-just firm. When your grandson sees your cute fix it appliques, he will look back with love on an unfortunate day-so will the rest of the family.
