My Oh My Anael ... this quilt just keeps getting better and better!!! Your handquilting is adding a new dimension to it. What a way to travel down Memory Lane!

Very nice. I am sure your Mom is watching you make the quilt!

Thank you all!!

Today it would have been my Mom's birthday.
Here's the block I finished yesterday. Lots of SID so it took me a while to finish this one.

What a pretty spring site to wake up to!
......how about a heart in the middle of that pink star?
Or perhaps Mom's birth date quilted into it?

Thanks QuiltE! I've been thinking about that too. There are more 'empty' spots so I thought: her initials and year of birth and passing.

Yes indeed ..... three stars will do it! ......unless there is another spot on the quilt where it would fit nicer? Are there any other secret messages that could be hidden in the quilting??

These three stars are perfect. Secret messages like? What are you thinking of?

I'm not sure ..... it was an idea, but I hadn't really thought further about it!
You could include more of the family geneology info.
Or just your info, which you might be planning for a label.
