Your mom will love it. When I see stuff like this, it makes me so sad that I can't sew for my mom. She was an excellent seamstress and made all my clothes when I was a little girl, including mother-daughter Easter dresses every Easter. She died in 1997 from an agressive form of leukemia. I thought we'd have her many more years, but she got sick and died within a week's time. I still miss her every mother's day. I didn't learn to quilt until a few years ago, and I so wish I could have made a quilt for her. (She didn't quilt, but her mother did.)
