Very early in my quilting career, I bought a 1/2 done quilt top at an online estate sale. I think I think I paid $5.00 for it. I had only made one quilt before buying it. It was a red, white and blue top. It was a train wreck. It was too narrow and I didn't know how to fix it. I sewed and unsewed that top so many times, I couldn't count them. I added to it. I took it apart and turned it around. I took it apart again and again.
Somehow, it reminded me of my favorite Aunt. I guess it was all the red. Red was her favorite color. In fact, they buried her in a red dress. I named that my "Aunt Shorty Quilt". It's my absolute favorite quilt. That would be the last quilt I would part with.
