How beautiful the quilts are...and your Mother IS so glad you and your brother treasure them. I am currently making a memory quilt for my daughter and I have over 90 fabrics that represent parts of her life! It was such fun to go out and think of her constantly while finding fabrics that reminded me of her. I have chosen the log cabin, 12 inch square, and she and I are turning the squares, trying to find the one way we both love and it is such fun! She is amazed at how the patterns change with each new position. (I KNEW she would love it! I'm almost ready to velcro them so she can continue to change them at will!) Your brother's quilt gave me the idea for the border. I have made too many 2 1/2 inch strips for the squares so I can now make the 4 patch strips, cut them straight and place them on the same angle your Mother did! It will show the multi fabrics again, I can use some more of the fabrics, and it will look beautiful. Thank you to you, your mother and your brother for helping me out! :mrgreen: :thumbup:
