She just " hates this ugly stuff,it won't sew together right,it was to be a wedding quilt and the wedding was off,she has bad feelings about this"...would I take it so she just didn't toss it? It is a double wedding ring quilt,king size! So, of course ,I'm always ready to help! It even has quilting templates and 2instruction books,backing included! I'll make it and donate it to a fund raiser for an auction...if I survive that long LOL!
I retired in 1995 have not been bored one minute of the days since, I quilt, RV with my husband, work with wild land fire fighters in the summer and enjoy friends and family. sounds like your friend is making sure you will have something to start your retirement with. God bless enjoy
