It is so cute!! I could just kick myself for not saving my daughter's dresses! I sewed a lot for her when she was younger.

Great job..

The quilt is beautiful! And what memories for the mom it holds! Do you have enough left of the dresses that you could make another one like it to somehow give to the mom. Maybe let one of her family members know that you have it in the making if they would like to gift it to her themselves. I am sure if they know the memories of it for her they would love to gift it to her. Just a thought!

Wonderful thoughtful idea. Beautiful quilt for mother's beautiful memories of daughter growing up.
