And just because you've never quilted *yet* doesn't mean you need never learn! Making quilts generally requires only a straight stitch - nothing fancy - and the ability to cut a straight line with a ruler and a rotary cutter (looks exactly like a pizza cutter
). Every quilt shop has beginning classes and most guilds have someone who will take a complete beginner under their wing. Wish I were closer, I'd love to mentor you so you could finish your mom's quilt yourself. What a lovely memory.

I agree. I didn't start quilting until I was in my twenties. Eleanor Burns books are a real good beginning. I have made about 3 quilts from that book. Hopefully, someone close to you will help. I live on the other side of the US otherwise I would be glad to help.
