2nd quilt is one I finished - the only one I've ever hand-pieced. Her mom had cut out all the pieces from her dresses and pieced about 3/4s of the quilt in the 70s. I finished piecing and handquilted it in 1990.This was done for love for my friend - and I'll never hand-piece again!!!

The 3rd was a wedding quilt made in '93 (that was a BIG year for me and quilts) for the daughter of a first cousin once removed. Is she a 2nd cousin? Someone here must know genealogy. Her grandma and my dad were 1st cousins. Her dad and I used to call each other 'my favorite cousin' - we were the only ones the same age out of what seemed like 100s of 'cousins' from the Dakotas and Minnesota!

Keep coming back to this thread if you want to see more of my quilts. I'm going to be scanning and posting today and maybe tomorrow. I'm on a roll.
This is a correction for quilt comments at the beginning of this thread. :lol: :lol:

The only 'credit' that's correct is the Kaleidescope.

Scroll up for the other 2 LOL I guess my bug affected my brain. I'm on anti-biotics, and I'm screwy :wink: I'll post the 'missing' pictures and more tomorrow or Monday.
