    Great idea for a 'memory' quilt, maybe? I save swatches when I sew for the grandkids and thought when making a quilt using 'first years' fabric swatches would be fun. Thanks for sharing.

    Good for you that you were able to 'breath new life' into the attic find. It is beautiful.

    Thanks for sharing with us.
