I let a quilt leave my house without a picture. In my SIL's things was an unfinished baby quilt. Hand painted Pooh pictures with sashing and cornerstones finished at 1" - not my size work. Thank goodness, she had the layered sashings and cornerstones done, but not together. I finished it, added a border from my stash, quilted it and delivered to my brother yesterday at a family reunion. He remembers painting the pictures with his wife and figured by the dates it was for a granddaughter who just entered the Air Force. The blocks were dated 1998. He's on his way to California and will deliver it in Arizona on his way. What a keepsake that young lady will have! Fittingly, the fabrics were red, white and blue prints.
So a whole quilt out of my newly acquired stash and little out of my old stash. A win on two counts.
