    Your mother has done a wonderful job! Are you going to sit and hand sew the block together while she keeps making them? I have a woman who hand sews her entire tops then brings them to me to machine quilt.

    Wow!

    I just love those 80 yrs olds!!!
    I truly miss my nana who taught me how to quilt.And she was sooo good at it herself. And seeing this work here reminds me of seeing her little self just working away at putting pieces together.
    thanks for sharing.
