What a treasure, indeed! It's like your mom is right there with you to complete the job she started. Glad they are returned to their rightful owner.

I glad you got them back. As you finish it, you will think of your mom and the quilt will be a warm hug from her.

Kissed by your mom. I would thank my cousin with a pillow (if she'd appreciate it). Sometimes 'Thank-you' doesn't seem like enough. What a treasure, I'd tear up too.

In addition to the 20 blocks, there are some uncut feed sack material as well as a box full of cut material that she had not yet pieced.

That beautiful fabric was really from animal feed sack?
