Get busy, ladies. Get those tops quilted don't let them be wasted.
a true statement and perfectly valid piece of advice. :-)
on the other hand, i once had the opportunity to turn a top made by a friend's grandmother into a finished quilt. it was an honor i don't expect to encounter often in my life.
we've also heard from more than one member who was inspired to start quilting because they wanted to finish an ancestor's quilt.
i don't have UFO's. i have future heirlooms and archeological treasures. (that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it. :lol: :lol: :lol: )
I like the future heirlooms idea! I'll steal that one!
