Finally I got tired of hearing the old refrain and told her I would try. I cannot tell you the pain of cutting, sewing, ripping, kicking the walls and cursing before 160 hours had passed and I got the bloody thing finished. Guess who paid for it? Me, me, me. Then on graduation day my aunt told her granddaughter the quilt was from her!!!


Some people can't hear the word "NO!"
