I think that perhap-s that is a 4-patch Posey rather than a Stack=N=Whack. Much easier to do

I'm not 82 but I wish you lived closer so that you could teach me :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a beautiful quilt. I'm like everyone else you are so lucky to have someone to teach and help out. I would love to sit and cut threads if I had someone like that to enjoy quilting with. Savor every minute with your aunt.

Betcha your Aunt Betty loves you back! What a tremendous gift of time & patience - working with elderly isn't always easy. Her quilt is gorgeous & a true reflection of your inner beauty.

Not one thread was cut!!!!! I spent 4-5 hours cleaning it first.Oh, well, I finally got it on the frame and it is really beautiful. I will post a picture but it is without the binding on it. I showed her how to make scallops and she is doing the binding now. When she saw the quilt all quilted, her smile was worth it all!!! Love my Aunt Betty.

Bless you to have all that patients. Be glad she can comprehend most of what you taught her. The quilt is beautiful!
