An 80 year old woman that belongs to my church brought me a bag of grandmother's flower basket blocks that she found in some boxes of her mother's things. She wanted me to quilt them. They were diffeent sizes and colors and fabrics but I managed t put this together. What do you think? She hasn't seen it yet so I wanted to get your opinions on whether she will be happy with it or if I hide it. What do you think?

She'll be happy. You did a great job. Your friend will treasure it. You were nice to finish it for her.

#1piecemaker 01-05-2010 05:19 PM

Thanks for all the kind words. I will take it too her tomorrow. I hope you are right. All the church ladies saw the blocks and someone had told her that the pieces wouldn't go together. She told them she knew I could do it. What confidence. I sure didn't want to disappoint her and truth be known I wanted to show the sceptics that IT COULD BE DONE.

amma 01-06-2010 01:30 AM

She's going to love it!!! Good Job :D:D:D

Well, I like it if that means anything! You have done a very kind, generous thing.

STAR 01-07-2010 09:57 AM

I think she would have loved it no matter what you did because it was a treasure that she found. so with saying that she is going to cry tears of joy when she sees what you have done!! and all those other ladies will have to eat their words when she shows off this beauty!! great job and a big pat on the back!!

I took the quilt to her last night and she loved it. She said, "I'm not going to live long enough to get to look at it as much as I want to." Thanks for all the nice comments. Now, off to work on some of my UFO's
