I am so thrilled for you and her!!! I wish my mom was still alive because we loved to do things together! The pictures are going to always be on this board so I am going to bookmark this site; they are beautiful!! Here is hoping you can get started on this quilt (love to see her face when it is done!) :thumbup:

OMG..they are all perfectly done front and back. What treasures she made from your scraps. Lots of fun for you in store arranging them. Thanks for sharing them.
