I finished my mom's quilt - 60 years later
 
3 Attachment(s)
Awhile back I posted pics of my mom's quilt that I was going to make wider and bind it. For some reason she never got to it and my brother and SIL found it in the attic of the farmhouse that she ad my dad had lived in for more years than I can remember. Anyway, here it is, hope you approve.

Absolutely gorgeous! What a treasure.

A very beautiful quilt! I love the tiny floral patterns and having trying to find and collect some for a future quilt. I think you did a super job of enlarging. I would not have known where to start, but maybe someday....

How perfect! A quilt you worked on together. Great fabric choices too. You must be very happy about it.

You did a great job finishing it. I love what you did. Very special quilt.

Yesterday's UFO but today's treasure! If it had been finished into a quilt, it would probably be worn out and discarded.

Grandma Peg 09-16-2013 07:20 PM

The quilt is quite a treasure! Love your label!

tessagin 09-16-2013 07:27 PM

Why wouldn't we approve! Anything made by mothers or any other family member is greatly appreciated and to be able to complete the process is such an honor! I think it is beautiful!

How wonderful that you were able to get this and finish it. I'm sure it will be a really special quilt in your home.

Misty's Mom 09-17-2013 04:41 AM

Thank you all for your generous comments. I forgot to mention that I'm going to give this quilt back to my brother and SIL since they found it in the first place. They were really excited to have it, so that's where it should be.
