I had three made in the 50's and 60's - all given to me by a friend whose mother made them. They are really alarmingly homely, but I did quilt one on my long arm (first one) to be used as a dog quilt for the beardie. He seems to love it. Two to finish of this vintage but a bunch more recently made. I am working my way through them.

Life is wonderful now and I actually sashed and bordered the blocks last winter...now to get it sandwiched and quilted!
I plan to do that when the weather turns cooler.

I started one 17 years ago. Long before I had a clue about quilting, it is 3 inch squares from my oldest sons jeans, he only worn Wranglers. My sweet cowboy angel is now in heaven. It is just hard to look at these jeans still. Someday I will pull it out and finish it.

I have one started in the 80's of pansies. I made three blocks, was only going to make 4 and make it into a wall hanging. Moved several times, lost the pattern, so still trying to figure out what I can do with three blocks besides a table runner. It hangs were I can see it everyday just in case I do come up with something wonderful.
