I swear that I recognize a couple of those fabrics from a quilt that my grandmother did around that time. I will have to check tomorrow--I really want to go into my guest room and wake my DD, DSIL and DGD right now to check, but they would probably not appreciate it :).
Over Christmas I suggested we meet in Columbus for lunch instead of having her down here. Over Thanksgiving - she was at my sister's in South Carolina. So, as long as my aunts and uncles in Indy kept healthy(She'll go over there to help take care of them) - she had no reason to be in the Dayton area!
My aunt that gave me the pieces knows about the quilt and she is having a hard time keeping my secret - she can't lie to my mom and I didn't want her to tell my mom what I was doing.
I'm going to try to get to my aunt's next weekend to show her the finished product. She saw it in Feb in progress - but that is nothing compared to the finished product. Must call her today.
This has been an honor to complete it. And a joy to share it w/ people that appreciate it!

I'm amazed that you could put that quilt on your bed for photos, see how perfect it looks there, and then take it off and give it away. Your mom is one lucky woman to have a daughter like you that cares so much and gives so freely. Bless you!
