The blocks are old, but not too old. It was made in the early 1960's...so fifty years or so...but it's in such GREAT condition! I think I'll turn it into a wall hanging instead of an actual quilt. My family is hard on actual quilts and I don't want to risk this one! lol

Does your mom remember any of the fabrics.Like did any come from her dresses or maybe her dad's shirts? It would be great if someone could recall some or all of the fabric then you could write it down and tuck it away for safe keeping.What a wonderful quilt to have. I'm glad you seem to know what you have and appreciate it. Mary

Actually the bright green on the pink is from one of her (my mom's) baby doll blankets. I was going to write this history down and put in on the label when I get it all done. But that is acutally a good idea. I'll pick mom's brain and see if she can recall so I can add more to the info!

Good luck and keep us informed with pictures of how you finish it. You know we all love pictures. Mary

Great wallhanging with wonderful memories.

Good for you, I'm so glad your Mom gave it to you now rather than wait until something happens. Things have a way of getting lost. Now you can both enjoy it. Thanks for sharing, the pictures are great.
