What a tribute to your mother's memory, Cathy. I can't believe you have already gone through and done all you have on these quilts--have you even been home a week yet???? You must be a ball of fire when you get going...And do I understand that you also work outside your home.? Those are gorgeous quilts, and you're so lucky that you got them in such good condition. How many years' stored away do you figure they were? Good luck, and we'll be watching as you undertake this daunting thing for your family.
