Her 88 year old mother cut all the yellow and green shapes, and did the hand binding.
She had a quilt group hand quilt it.
She brought one of the Carousel Horses she had made about 34 years ago. We posted a sign asking people to find the fabric of the horse on the quilt. People really enjoyed that.
