2013 UFO Challenge of the Month
#881
[ATTACH=CONFIG]417975[/ATTACH]Well, I am behind too with finishing one quilt a month. I did finish a quilt in Jan, Feb, and March, but April I started a quilt for my FIL's room in assisted living. I didn't get it done in time, so my DH had it drapped on his coffin. I will count this as my 4th finish this year. Nancy

BoJangles, your quilt is really pretty. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm in the process of making quilts for my DMIL for all the grandchildren. I am using her stash. I'm not sure I can bear it if she passes before I finish. She's 89 and should have gone six times in the last four months. It's really difficult for me to cut up her fabric.

BoJangles: I'm sorry for your loss. What a lovely tribute to have the quilt displayed that way!

BoJangles...that beautiful quilt shows how loved you FIL was. Now you also have something to honor his memory with from the funeral and beyond.
SheriR....I bet your MIL is glad someone has her stash that treasures it instead of tossing it and wants you to use it.

Foxflower, I washed all her fabric when I brought it home. Here are pictures of how I found so much of it, holes cut in the center. I still feel like I rescued her stash. The last pic is one grandma quilt I finished the top on yesterday. I still need to quilt it. I'm doing them all the same with different sashes and stars. All from Grandmas stash.

Sheri--great pattern choice to use a variety of fabrics! How many quilts do you have to make from the scraps? (Sorry if you already told us, I missed it.)
