oh i surely hope you can re-create this quilt for her. she will be so pleased.
long ago a friend in Europe sent me some small hexagons sewn together but not finished into a whole quilt. i decided to take some apart and put back together to form more of a flower design due to the lovely soft colors. there were such small tiny stitches! I do so wish i'd not taken any apart now. i know i can't put them back together that well. but now i may try.
so go for it and make your mother proud!!
