How neat to find that stuff..... I was born in 1945 and it is fun to see the fabrics..

Omak - here's the work in progress....on my "design board" - the batting is hanging off the shelves hoping the wrinkles will hang out eventually..

The "design board" was a tip i read here too!! You guys have way too much knowledge!!

VERY pretty!
*** Might try *** tip for getting wrinkles out of batting.
open it up and tumble it in your dryer for a few minutes ( I am thinking 15 minutes is a few, but others will surely jump in who have more experience than I <wave>

Thanks for the suggestion to throw in the dryer - i'll remember that. But til then, it's making a great place to put up the stars and move them around to get it just right!

You are DEFINITELY a woman after my own heart! LOL Why hurry things along when taking one step at a time gets you to the same place <g> Well done! <wave>

I came across a quilt that my grandmother had started. But I need to learn how to hand stitch before I can attempt to finish it. What an awesome find and so great of your aunt to give it to you! Good luck make your grandma proud!!

Oh My Goodness! These will be a gorgeous quilt when you get it all together. A real treasure for certain! Will be happy to see it all done. Thank You for sharing.

I'm flabbered...Wow. The scraps and your ingenuity will make for some kind of wonderful piece. I only have a few little blocks someone made long ago but fabric is wonderful. Think I'll incorporate them into somewhat of a Dear Jane type quilt. Just could not toss them out.

just want to throw in an update....I was given a picture of this pattern w/ an added border - so i added it - and it is perfect to finishing off the stars!!! I so didn't want to cut a star in half, it seemed so not right...

This has been fun - still more to come..

Fantastic! It is a wonderful border for your quilt! <wave>
