March UFO Completed
Rocky makes a great mascot!
I have finished the quilt I made from my mom's cut pieces. This is the quilt that matches the 2 pillows I made for my daughters. Mom had cut about 50 diamond shapes from 4 fabrics, all in a purple theme. She died in May 2005, and her health was failing during that spring, so I'm sure she cut these prior to Feb. 2005, making these pieces 13+ years old. There was enough flowered fabric and light purple for me to cut pieces to make a total of 18 blocks. I did have to buy the pale purple which I used as the outer pieces of each block, the backing, and the binding. I pieced extra batting in each diamond shape to make them stand out some. Mom's shapes didn't have exact angles, so they didn't fit perfectly, but I left them as is because she cut them that way. The quilt is about 48 inches square and I'll think of Mom every time I look at it.
