It is all hand pieced and hand quilted. I was clearing out photo albums last night and found pictures of her piecing it about 6 years ago!!!

Now I'm jealous of my cousin!

By the way, Mom turned 87 last week!
Your not kidding Mom is really into Blues!! Like I told you before I do not understand how she does the quilts by hand and makes them look like they were done on a machine. I am really amazed at the work that she has done.

I know the move has been hard on you with all of the packing and shuffling about between apartment and house. If you need me you know how to get a hold of me.

In the mean time go get mom some more fabric and let her have at it!!!
