Quilt from my Stash
 

These quilts were both made from my stash. The Christmas quilt top was made by my 85y/o mother during our first ice/snow storm of the season in December. I did the quilting on my TinLizzie sitdown machine. This quilt will be a 50th anniversary gift for a special couple that were neighbors while I was growing up in WV.
The Scrap Happy quilt was made from my scrap bag. Each block is made of 64 two inch squares of lights and darks alternatively. This quilt is going to be finished for a March wedding gift

Nice scraps you have! Great to hear your 85 y/o DM is still quilting. I hope that's me in 20 years!

Great quilts. How wonderful that your mother is still able to piece quilt tops.

I love them both 64 patch blocks are the best! I'm a scrappy quilter is this quilt is great! It's wonderful to see your mothers work also. I hope I'm half as good as she is when I'm 85! Quilt On!

both are nice
your second in my favorite.

Really like both quilts. Give your Mom a hug for me. Wish I could hug my Mom. It's great that you both quilt. Love your scrappy. Is your shashing also 2"? Gooks like a good project for me. BrendaK

They are both beautiful! If your mom doesn't read forums, please tell her we all want to be like her at 85!

Brenda,
The inner sashing is 2 inches with 2 inch cornerstone.
The outer sashing is 2 1/2 inches for the white on while and 5 1/2 of the print.
Thanks for the hugs. I am visiting her in WV next week and will be sure and pass them on.

You had a remarkable stash and your quilts are beautiful.

Those are just lovely. Your DM has done a wonderful job.

Both of you did a beautiful job!

Both are beautiful! Hugs to your mom and how lucky you are to have her in your life and enjoy the love of quilting together!!

a happy family that quilts together. I love them both but if I have to choose a fav it is the 2inch square quilt. There is just something about small scrap quilts that is very appealing.

Very pretty. ....

Great quilts and hope I can still be quilting at 85, that's just wonderful!!!!

Good use of smalls.

Very nice quilts. I agree with everyone else. Hope i can still quilt at 85......i have a friend who will be 87 soon and sewing on quilts constantly.....then i have a cousin the same age but has alzheimers.
It's so sad for my cousin

They are just lovely...

i love your quilts! stash busters are great and i love the colors you have used!

I hope that when I am 85 I am still quilting! Would love to be able to do it with my daughters. Love that you can do it together and wish you many more years of quilting together. Beautiful quilts.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your beautiful quilts. I've been told that keeping active keeps you younger, and your mother is proof of that. Growing up, we had a dear family friend who was quilting on a treadle machine well into her 80's. She made the prettiest quilts and aprons.

I love to see people utilize their scraps in such beautiful ways. I hope to be quilting at 85; that would bring wonderful contentment in life. Hope she will still be quilting at 95.

Love them. Nothing like stashes.
