    I love the older, more traditional patterns for quilts, probably because 98% of my quilts are hand-pieced. Not because I think it's "the best" way, but because I like being able to take my projects with me to work on when I have a few minutes. I realize I could do the same thing with a sewing machine, but my hands are a lot easier to take with me than my machine, lol. My grandkids all think it's neat that I can do that. Although 2 of my granddaughters asked for sewing machines (and got them), neither of them use their machines, because Nana doesn't.

    I bought an old roll of Mountain Mist batting that still had the pattern inside from a thrift store here in town last year. It had been around long enough for the edges of the batting to darken up a bit with age.
    Neat find.

    Oh, that would be fun to find! I wonder if they have a date somewhere so you could know its age.
