Speaking of saving some of the fabric, I am currently in the midst of hand quilting a large queen quilt for my daughter. The squares are Sunbonnet Sue pattern. All the squares were made by my Mom, who is currently 93, over the last 10 years. The dresses are made from scraps of many of the dresses my Mom made for my daughter (39) when she was little. Can't tell you what a treasure this is for my daughter. She has a 4-yr old daughter and when I make a dress for her, I put the scraps in a special tote so that one day I can make her the same quilt with fabrics from her dresses. Great way to preserve wonderful memories of Grandma.
