My DD just sent me a text - 'Mom how much do you charge for a.....quilt'. So I told her. 'Darn that's expensive'. My response, tell her if she wants cheap go to xxxxxxx. So works for me! They do believe we can 'do' anything. Good luck on your project.

Thank you all for your encouragement. I have decided to work on it in stages to make it less overwhelming. I am trying to salvage the blocks I can from the grandmother..joining blocks has become quite creative. It is QAYG, and the batting isn't quite right on most of the finished squares, so I am using heat and bond to join battings, adding what I need to- this way I don't have to worry about adding batting where there will be no quilting....I am definitely learning patience with this one!!

Finishing someone else's project is definitely a challenge.

I discovered how much of one it could be when I undertook finishing a mystery quilt that had been started by someone in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's.

First I had to determine what it was supposed to look like as we had no idea where the instructions had disappeared to. Then take out all the mispositioned pieces and restitch 75% of it.

So I can certainly feel for you!

Took me a couple of months. Hope yours goes ever so much faster.

I'l the call Mom about cooking too w1613s, it makes me feel good that all my kids from 18 to 34 still call me for an idea or what is wrong or is this still good. Out of them all only 1 grandchild out of 8.5 is a sewer like her Gammy.

Wow--you qualify for sainthood! Taking on someone else's frustration! I just do my own--had to unsew about 2/3 of the machine quilting on a table topper I was doing for a Guild challenge--it was a challenge alright! But finished both the unsewing and re-sewing tonight and tomorrow the binding!
