    This robe is just as cute as can be. What a wonderful way to cuddle up on a cool evening!

    Wow! If I were a still teaching, I would use that as a writing project! If the squares could talk to each other . . . .

    It is a true treasure. I had an old quilt that had been well loved since I was a child. It was in pretty bad shape, so I took the best squares and made pillows. Each square was framed with new fabric and set on point and then sewn to a new back to add strength, then made into pillows. I gave one to each family member. I would love to hear the whole story of each piece.

    I love how someone "rescued" the old quilt and gave it a new life as a robe. At one of the quilt shows I went to a few years ago they were selling Christmas stockings that were made of used quilts parts. I also bought a note card that had a quilted heart on the front of the card that was made from an old quilt. I liked it so much I kept it all these years.
