    That is just sad. Sounds like she doesn't have a life of her own. At least that is my opinion of anyone who has the "need to know" about anyone else's business. I figure if you are busy, really busy, making a life of your own, you really don't have that need to find out the nitty gritty about everyone/anyone else.

    each block is quilted on its own, just as if it was going to be a " mini " front, batting, backing ! Then after all the blocks are quilted I join them with the sashing. I butt two blocks up to each other and top stitch the sashing. I sash the back side first using a 1/2 inch narrower strip than I am using on the front, this way when I put the top sashing on, it hides the stitching from the back sash !

    Love your quilt and I'm sure your mom will too! I like the idea of quilt as you go. I haven't tried it, but definitely on my quilt/craft to-do list (which seems to grow daily after seeing great ideas) LOL
