The quilt entitled Eva's Quilt was submitted for display only. The description said it was made by the great-grandmother of the owner's husband in the early 1900's.

The description next to this one says:
Quilters never have too much fabric, but try explaining another quilt shop trip to your husband.
And speaking of husbands, the 3rd pic is my DH patiently waiting under a wall handing entitled Male Bonding. I'll try and post it next.

The description next to Aunt Virginia Grace's quilt says:
The top was hand pieced by my aunt, Virginia Grace, using scraps of dresses she made between the 1940's and 1960's. It was found when cleaning her home after her death. The owner added a Moda Snippets border and backing and completed the quilt in January 2010.
Wow! a quilt 70 years int he making!
This is the last post there were more but my photography skills weren't the best. Hope you all have enjoyed this as much as I did.
