Hi everyone,
I just got back from Varadero, Cuba on Sunday morning - had a wonderful 2 weeks vacation - but I just had to share this great gift...
A friend, Romalia, gave me this when she came to visit at a friends home in Mantanzas City, Cuba 2 weeks ago...and I am thrilled...she made this quilt with MIL about 15 years ago - it's made with recycled fabrics...backed with Genuine Cuban Sugar Sacks....
Materials are not that plentiful in Cuba so you use what you have or what you can find.....
The quilt needs some repairs but I have to decide do I leave it as is or do I repair it..
It is such a special gift - and I love it - I will share some photos to show you all......
The photos were taken on the terrace at the home of friends in Mantanzas City.....
Enjoy!
Let me know what you would do - leave as is or repair!!!!!
Thanks!
Bill

Some of the pieces still have the Cuban Sugar Brand on the backing fabric!
