    Can't imagine what some of these women would think seeing their qilts finished. It amazes me what they came up with when you see what they had to work with. I'm intrigued with the sashing on this one, wide bands in some places, narrower in others. I'm sure they'd be doing a happy dance to think that someone in their family cared enough to have them completed. And as usual, a great job, Eddie, thanks for sharing.

    Eddie,

    You have the best tutorials here. I always search for your tutes. I enjoy piecing, but don't have time or talent to quilt. Are you accepting work? My MIL lives in Conway and may be able to transport for me! Missing your posts here... we see that you are busy these days.

    The one on the bottom reminds of the ones my grandma use to make! All of our to little and worn out clothes went into quilts. Boy, you made me have a real back flash!
