My mom was given some doubleknit outfits that didn't fit her...she cut them up to make a grandmother's flower garden quilt. Her eyesight was going...she spent almost a year piecing that lap quilt...by the end it was not the greatest (mom used to do beautiful hand work)...I told her I'd like it for my birthday & that I would tie the quilt. Well, mom is gone and when I looked at the quilt...it had too many hexis in some places, not enough in others...I put that quilt on my longarm machine and scribbled it to death...seams were coming apart, huge stitches, no tie offs, etc.... I love my quilt! I use it all the time...when it's hot, it's on the back of the couch...yes, it's not real fancy...but my momma did her best to make that quilt for me....I will cherish it forever.

Finish that quilt for your daughter...she will love it forever!
