    I think @ 82, she was just focusing on completion of the top for you- I agree that your time spent clipping those $#%^ threads was bonding time. It is beautiful- what an event to be so proud of

    Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
    I am so new to this that I've never even heard of a "Stackn Wackin" Is there a site I could go to and find the particulars on it? I truly love it.

    Beautiful quilt, and you should be so happy that you were able to teach your aunt something new, a lasting memory that you will one day be thankful that you have.

    As far as the snipping of threads goes, if her hands are anything like mine, and I am not even 82, it is a very difficult job for me. I try to trim as I go so I don't have the big job in the end; but am not always successful at that endeavor. That is why I chose machines that built-in needle threaders, and built-in thread cutters.
