What a beautiful quilt. I'm like everyone else you are so lucky to have someone to teach and help out. I would love to sit and cut threads if I had someone like that to enjoy quilting with. Savor every minute with your aunt.

Not one thread was cut!!!!! I spent 4-5 hours cleaning it first.Oh, well, I finally got it on the frame and it is really beautiful. I will post a picture but it is without the binding on it. I showed her how to make scallops and she is doing the binding now. When she saw the quilt all quilted, her smile was worth it all!!! Love my Aunt Betty.
