My mom is 85, and I have been trying for 10 years to get her interested in quilting, or helping me. No luck, and now I have given up. You are so fortunate to have an 82 year old with the same interest. It is beautiful.

At 82 years old you have to be a little forgiving. She probably got caught up in the excitement of the project and forgot to clip the threads. Be sure to let her know how much we all loved her quilt. It's gorgeous, one of the best stack and whack I've seen.

Doesn't this inspire all of us "young" ones (I'm 63) to forge on ahead and keep stitchin!!!! This is a beautiful job and I love the scallops on the quilt...it just finishes it off beautifully! Great Job Aunty!

You know what? I don't even consider cutting my threads while making the top or quilting. I'm 28 years young, and do it the hard way. My thought is to just get through it, get it done, and then worry about the quilt threads after it's quilted, edges trimmed, and bound. That might be something I should do. But, you and your aunt did a great job on it. Very pretty!! :)
