What a great collaboration....I would love to have a quilting partner of senior years (bit cheeky, but it would make me feel young!). It's a beautiful quilt and you did a wonderful job with the trimming and quilting....can't wait to see your next one!

Anyone who is 82 and can follow and remember instructions on how to make her first stack and whack has got to be forgiven for forgetting to cut threads as she went along! Bravo to both of you!!

My sentiments exactly. I got the stack n whack book but haven't done one yet. I don't like the outsides of them. Now I know what to do if I ever get to one. In fact I just thought of some fabric that would be perfect.....hmmmmmm....here we go again......

I hope if I make it to 82 that I am half the stitcher your Aunt is. She did a beautiful job. I hate clipping threads too, but try to do that after each sewing session.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments on Aunt Betty's quilt. I will pass them on to her so I can see more smiles. She has some beginning alzheimers( I believe) so she goes through periods of depression. She made a beautiful woven table runner a couple years ago that I guided her on. (took a year to make but she finished it). I made her put it in our quilt show and she won first place!!!! Now that was a big smile!!! BY the way....the sashing on her quilt is not white,it is a very light blue. She has a way of picking out absolutely gorgeous colors. I am learning from her how to pick good colors. I wonder what she wants to make next? My mom is 80 and we all sew together.
