23 years later.....
 

Long story... Mom died in 1992, left 4 daughters some unfinished quilt tops. Fast forward 23 years and my sis decided to get hers out and finished! I got to quilt the first one,and I'm thrilled how nicely it turned out. The pieced back adds to that home made flavor too! Mom would be proud to think it was all quilted in 3 hours! Not perfect in any way, but done with tons of love!

very pretty quilt
Yes she would be proud to see them done.

remember life isn't perfect so your quilts don't have to be either.

love the design of the blocks

A nice finish and the quilting compliments the blocks.

beautiful quilt, love the quilting

Beautiful :)

the quilting on the pink sashing is perfect & those old calicoes are wonderful....wow, that's a long time!

Very pretty -- what a treasure to have.

Love the quilting on the pink sashing. The calicos bring back memories. Very nice finish!

Just beautiful and with loving memories, too!

......she's smiling......

I can imagine the love that you and your sister put into quilting this. No doubt bright rays of sunshine is your Mother smiling down on her girls.

I get so happy when someone finishes a family heirloom. Yours looks great - hope the rest get a move on!

Fantastic! So fun that you made that quilt with your mom, even with the years in between.

It's a beautiful quilt and great quilting also. Love how you did the sashings.

What a pretty finish to something started so long ago.

Oh I love that fabric in the 2nd picture. You did really good finishing it. It is so pretty.

All that really matters is that the quilt is finished. Enjoy!

Love it. BrendaK

nicely done

Lovely quilt and great memories.

Tons of love you say, I can imagine how you all must have just chatted and cried. Just know that she was listening and watching. No better thoughts to have. You even made me wonder about my mom and how she liked to sew and crochet. Thanks for your memories here for us to view. Hugs, right back to you.

beautifully done! love the soft cozy fabrics and how you quilted it... what a keepsake and a nice story.

What a lovely treasure. Mom is smiling in Heaven.

Beautiful. Love the blocks too!

I am glad the quilt is finished. It is a tribute to your mom and a comfort to your family. It is a beautiful tribute.

That story and the quilt are just so special. Thanks for sharing. I hope she left enough quilts for each daughter to have at least one.

Very pretty quilt, what a lovely treasure to have to keep Mom's love alive!

What a treasure ! It is lovely & love the quilting. She would be so proud of her girls.

Beautiful quilt. I recognize the yellow with stripe fabric. That may be from the 50's!
And your quilting is fine.

That is a great tribute to your Mom.

Very nice! Where is yours? :)

What a nice story and the quilt is great.

Very nicely done. Your Mom would be so proud of you. You really done an awesome job!

A lovely quilt to remember her by.

I'm so happy for you that you were able to finish one of your mother's quilts, what an amazing heirloom. My Mom quilted, but her quilts were utilitarian, meant to be used, and used up.

Beautiful quilt that will be a treasure for your family.

Very, very pretty quilt. Nice job.

Beautiful quilt and very nice quilting!

Just beautiful!
