I have made quilts from old family blocks and each time there were different challenges to meet. One was so old that every time I rocked my needle up and down the fabric split!! YIKES!! So I had to finish the quilt by stitching straight up and then straight down!! Man, I thought I would grow old just working on dthat one quilt!!It was a bunch of beautiful old crazy quilt blocks that I had to square to size and set together with sashing and I quilted it in a huge spider web pattern that my husband helped me map out! It was great fun!
