@Hoovermom There is a story behind this quilt.  My 76 year old sister who taught me to quilt some 30 years ago put this quilt together.  She gave it to me and asked that I finish it.  She had barely begun to quilt it.  She has dementia and I don't think she could finish it which makes me very sad.  I will keep this one to remind me of her teaching me this skill.  This one will stay in the family.


@Lilysmom1 Your quilt is beautiful and so is its story! Thank you for sharing both!

I am so glad that your sister got you into quilting but sorry for her dementia.  We have that in our family.  You did a beautiful job and one that the whole family should be proud of.  Whomever inherits that quilt through the years is very fortunate, indeed.
