I can just imagine how this happened….. Linda’s mother started piecing this Lone Star back in 1939. Sometimes, life gets in the way, and she set it aside for “someday”.
Years go by, and Mom passed away. Linda and her sister were going through some of Mom’s possessions, and they found this project — that was back in the 1980′s. Linda decided that she would be the one to finish this quilt… for Mom.
Years pass again, and the project was set aside… again. Just recently, Linda decided to finish this quilt for her daughter. When she looked at the quilt top, she noticed that the white fabrics were starting to disintegrate from age. She lovingly replaced all of the white fabric, and brought it over for me to quilt it for her.
I was honored (and thrilled!) to be able to finish this quilt! When the binding is put on, it will be displayed with antique photos of…. Mom. How fitting.
