Thank you all for the great ideas! Quilting Memaw, the quilt is beautiful! I think I may ask my mom amd sister to help. Since my mom taught us to sew, our styles and techniques are quite similar, which would make the blocks much easier to set. Between all 3 of our stashes we should have enough fabric for the blocks and sashing and possibly even backing. Perhaps one of our local quilt shops would give me a break on quilting it or I could rent the long arm for an afternoon.
Unfortunately, it looks as though they may lose their house now, just as they reach retirement age. I'm going to talk to one of the daughters to find out the best way to approach them as they are private people. They have taken in so many young people as foster kids over the years (and turned lives arund) that I feel as though they have gotten a raw deal in life. Wonderful, wonderful people! I am so sad for them.....
