    This is a quilt just for me. hehehehe no hubby will not be under it at all it is just mine. Throws a tantrum if anyone touches it. hehehehe. It is a recycle quilt. I made the white blocks from some old cotton curtains and duvet (20 years ago)that was my daughters. For the backing I am going to use some old red sheets that is 30 years old and hardly been used. These old cottons sure seem to last as they are just fine. The others blocks are a gift I received some 10 years ago and it is pre printed blocks and I did the cross stitching in red (My favorite color). So now just to get it done.
