Making more memories. First the Sun bonnet Sue, then the way you made this quilt. Now you and your BF together making memories.

My Mother spent years doing these. She never put them into a quilt. When she died, I searched everywhere for them but they were gone. A tragedy for me. I love this applique.

We know many men quilt now, but it's so cool to hear about men who quilted/pieced/appliqued all those years ago. Kudos to his mom or other female in his life who encouraged this activity. And thank you for sharing the story and quilt!
